A Foundation for Lifelong Success

At Rosen Preschools, we believe that early learning has the power to change lives. Guided by Harris Rosen’s vision, our program provides children with a strong academic, social and emotional foundation during the years that matter most.

Research has consistently shown that investing in high-quality early childhood education can have a lasting impact on future academic achievement, graduation rates, college attendance and lifelong opportunities. Mr. Rosen recognized this connection and dedicated himself to creating pathways for success that begin in preschool and continue through higher education.

The impact of this commitment can be seen throughout the Rosen Scholars community, whose graduates have pursued careers and degrees in fields such as education, engineering, business, finance, computer science, medicine, psychology, journalism, criminal justice, social work and many others.

As Harris Rosen said, “Research clearly shows that investing in kids’ education when they are young produces the best returns.”

Our partnership with Orange County Public Schools creates a clear pathway to success, supporting students from preschool through higher education. As the starting point of that journey, Rosen Preschools helps children build a strong foundation, reach their full potential, and create brighter futures for themselves and those around them.

Our Philosophy at Rosen Preschools

Our Philosophy

The Rosen Preschools strive to provide age-appropriate learning experiences that meet a child’s physical, social and emotional needs. We understand that every child is unique and deserving of special care and attention. Our team encourages each child to embrace new and engaging challenges that help them learn and grow at their own pace. We are fully committed to meeting each child’s individual needs, helping build a strong foundation for success in school and beyond.

Rosen Preschool Building Hope

Building Hope

Rosen Preschools serve children ages 2 to 4 in Tangelo Park and Parramore, offering high-quality early education at no cost to families in these communities. We believe the earlier a child begins learning, the greater their potential for success – in school and in life.

Our preschool programs help children build foundational skills that prepare them for kindergarten and beyond. Families benefit too. Access to early education improves quality of life and opens doors to future opportunities, including eligibility for the Rosen Scholarship.
