A Little About Rosebuds ELC

Rosebuds Early Learning Center provides a secure, loving and nurturing environment for every child that we have the privilege of caring for. We are licensed to provide childcare for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years (first day of kindergarten). We offer a variety of programs tailored to advance early learning and development. Our childcare offers many stimulating activities throughout the day and plenty of time for children to explore, learn and grow under the direct supervision of qualified and dedicated educators. 

Rosebuds ELC is a ministry of Rose of Sharon Lutheran Church. See https://www.roseofsharonlutheran.org for more information on our church.

Our mission

Rosebuds Early Learning Center meets the needs of families by nurturing and teaching children through a Christ-centered approach that will build bridges between children, their families, and Jesus.

Our philosophy

Rosebuds Early Learning Center is a Christian childcare center established to create a nurturing environment in which God’s love is demonstrated. Our priority is to provide exceptional care and education, where each child is accepted and valued as an individual and where they can develop; spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically.

Our History

Christian education has been a part of Rose of Sharon Lutheran Church from its founding. In 1960 a school, kindergarten through 8th grade, was opened. This school operated for 32 years. In 1992, Sonshine Preschool was opened and operated for many additional years. In 2018, after much planning, Rose of Sharon Lutheran Church transitioned Sonshine Preschool into Rosebuds Early Learning Center. Rosebuds is a state licensed, Christ-centered, family-oriented learning environment for children 6 weeks to age 5. From the early years of it’s founding through present time, the mission, and the heart of Rose of Sharon Lutheran Church to reach children, families, and our community with the hope that we have in Jesus has remained strong. By God’s grace, we look forward to many years with that same heart, hope, and love for children, families, employees, and our community.
