Rosebuds Early Learning Center 6875 Jamaica Avenue South, Cottage Grove, MN 55016

"Love Rosebuds! Highly recommend. We have two kids there and have been through several classrooms as they've grown and been really happy. The kids love it. There's turnover like any daycare, but they've done really well with a consistent core team, which is probably pretty rare in child care these days. Lauren, Reagan, and Rian are especially great. I really feel all the teachers care. Management is also good, consistent, and easy to communicate with. The kids have a lot of fun, Learn a lot, great routine, lots of outside time. Fun extra activities. They also take safety very seriously. My son has several severe food allergies, and they do great with separate meals, cleaning and signage. I've come unannounced a couple times when I forgot something and saw them thoroughly cleaning after a meal. I also know they do training on it. So grateful!"

"This child care center is top notch! My girls love going here every single day. The daily updates on the app are so helpful to continue to build on what they learn each day at the center. I love knowing what my kiddos are up to throughout the day. The staff is beyond AMAZING!! My girls have learned so much since starting Rosebuds. Thank you to all the staff for all the love, guidance, and everything you taught my girls. By far the best experience with a child care center."

"Rosebuds has been a great place for my kids to learn and grow. We have been attending since summer of 2020 and our youngest is now graduating PreK. The staff has always been kind, caring and supportive of my kids. We absolutely recommend Rosebuds to anyone looking for a loving place for their children."

"In response to Daren: I would not recommend this daycare to anyone who cares for their kid's well-being. A couple teachers are amazing, but the majority are undertrained and not capable of handling "normal toddler behavior" (my doctor's and behavioral specialists' words). This daycare has also been found guilty of maltreatment-child neglect. They claim to be a church run daycare, but they offer little forgiveness even to a 3 year old. The director has been nothing but unprofessional. My primary regret is keeping my kids in that environment where nepotism is valued over child rearing. Head over to the state of Minnesota website to look at maltreatment filings before sending your kids here. "Normal toddler behavior" does not consist of a child repetitively biting children. My son was victim to your child's "normal" behavior. What is not "normal" is how many chances they gave your child. Your son bit my son 7 times in 8 weeks! That is not normal behavior, other centers and in home daycares have a 3 bite limit. They rewrote the policy and restarted bite counts to benefit your family. One time your son bit my son so hard it left a bruise that is NOT ok. As a parent it was very frustrating how lenient they were with you, giving chances and saying they are a Christian center and allow forgiveness. So before you write a hateful/bad review (and call nepotism on the center, clearly they were favoring YOU) check your facts, Daren. Your child was the issue NOT the center. They did what they could to keep you there, but I was not going to allow my child or any other children to fall victim to your child's "normal" behavior. We went to the Oversite Committee about this ongoing issue, it was a year, finally they removed your child, in my opinion this was long overdue. We could have removed our son, however, he was not the problem, and our thought was why punish him. He enjoys his time at Rosebuds, has learned so much and likes his teachers. I hope your new child care facility is understanding with your child's "normal" behavior."
