Our largest room in the center is devoted to this age group of 4 year old VPK students and their soon to be VPK younger class of 3 year old students.  During the day these two age groups will get time together, time as two separate classes and one on one teaching time with their instructors.  This individual time as well as class time and guided free time prepares them for Kindergarten and has given our perfect VPK score of 300.  This is the highest possible score and only eleven schools out of almost 200 have achieved this score.  These Readiness Rates are based on tests given to the children as the head into Kindergarten.  This classroom is filled with age appropriate supplies and activities and the walls are lined with the children’s work.  They also have plenty of outside time with the sand yard out their side door and the rubber mulch playground out their back door.  As with all the classrooms the students have their own bathroom.

"Rose provides a safe and loving environment for my son. We feel great comfort in knowing that he is receiving quality care, while learning through their great curriculum of discovery and play. He truly enjoys his days playing and learning with all of his friends! I have watched my son blossom over the last three years at Rose and am extremely fortunate to have chosen a center that has played such a positive role in his social/cognitive development." -Arika A.

"There is nothing I look forward to more each day than getting to work so I can play with my friends.  We have been having too much fun doing learning activities that engage the children and allow them to explore their senses.  I love watching my group of kids experience new things; all of my kids have great ideas and I love learning from them as much as I hope they love learning from me." -Megan Brown, ROSE Child Care teacher
