About Us

Rosemarie Samuels has over 20 years experience in early childhood education!
Rose has 10 years experience directing a preschool, and holds the welfare of "her" children closer to her heart. Her roots in St. Pete Beach run deep, being a 35-year resident of the area. To see Rosie's true concern and love for the children in her care, one needs only to witness her interactions with them, and to hear what they and their parents have to say:
"Rosie is funny, she takes care of kids, and we know her a lot" - Calvin
"I'd love to sit on her lap and have her read me a story!" -Calvin's Mom
"She's the next best thing to your Mama" - Henri's Dad

Mission Statement
Rosie's Playschool, Inc., strives to provide a high-quality Early Childhood Program by creating a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment. This environment also promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children and responds to the needs of individual families. Our parents and staff are PARTNERS, working together to meet the needs of the children and their families.
Our Philosophy
Young children learn by doing! They acquire knowledge of their world through playful interaction with objects and people. Children are motivated to learn by their own desire to make sense of their world. Rosie's Playschool, Inc. is committed to providing a developmentally-appropriate program with the help of well-trained teachers, a variety of materials and equipment, and a small adult-to-child ratio. We engage children in an environment that is child-directed and teacher-supported.
