A Little About Rosebuds ELC
Rosebuds Early Learning Center is a Christian Learning Center that provides quality childcare in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Our staff are certified Teachers and have extensive experience in child development. We are a ministry of Rose of Sharon Lutheran Church at the intersection of Jamaica Avenue and 70th Street.
Rose of Sharon Lutheran Church
At Rose of Sharon we adhere to the Biblical teachings of the Christian Church where we proclaim Christ Jesus as our crucified and risen savior. Our Sunday Worship (9:00 am) is a blended service where we faithfully adhere to the essential parts of worship service and have music that is both traditional (organ and hymns) as well as more modern styles of music (worship team). Our Saturday Service (4:00 pm) is a more casual atmosphere. Everyone is welcome to attend and we look forward to meeting you. For further questions or needs contact Pastor Schoenfeld at 651-459-3551 or
Our mission

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.
Our first few years as Rosebuds
In our first few years as Rosebuds Early Learning Center, we have grown substantially. We did not expect to grow as fast as we did. We are honored that our families choose us to teach, share the word of God, and love their little ones. Thank you to our families, our teachers, and the Rose of Sharon congregation for always supporting us.
