Absolute nightmare for our family. The owners are mean vindictive and bullies. My wife and I are glad its over but sit back and cant believe how our daughter was treated. We can't believe places like this are still in business. DO YOUR RESEARCH PLEASE this place has a track record of misconduct and bullying.

As a former employee who worked here for 6 months I can honestly say that Rosewood Academy is not a high quality childcare center. Everything they say on their website and to your face on tours is completely fake. I have read some other reviews on here from parents that say they constantly had different people in their child's classroom and that is because Fran would send teachers home early so that they wouldn't reach 40 hours a week which in turn saves Rosewood Academy money. Parents please do not be fooled by the fancy show they put on for you. Yes, they have nice centers with indoor gyms, and that is great but it doesn't do any good if you can't keep qualified teachers there to educate your children every day. Common sense would tell any business owner that when you promise a person full-time hours for a job and then don't give them those hours, they will quit, hence the high turn over rate at Rosewood. Fran and Kelli have their favorite employees and are not afraid to show it, and then they treat the other employees horribly. The curriculum is not age appropriate and it is not catered to a child's individual needs. If you decide to take a tour there, ask them why all of the toys are put away in bins where the children cannot get to them. That is not high quality child care. And please do not be fooled by all of their high tech tools like iPads. I was helping in a one year old classroom once and while they were changing diapers they just let the other kids watch cartoons for 30 minutes!!! At a staff meeting once, Carl, one of the owners, (who has no business running a child care center by the way) told the staff it was ok for the children to watch the iPad for long periods of time just as long as it was not during the busy drop off and pick up times where parents would see it happening. Just another way that they put on a show for parents. There is no amount of money you could pay me to go back and work there and there is no way that I would ever send my children here.

As a former employee with behind the scenes views, I'd just like to say that I personally would never take my child here. I had to quit and was hired for another child care center that was absolutely amazing. First let me start by saying Kellie and her family are the biggest SHOW I've ever seen in my life. They are greedy selfish people that fool parents into thinking they care so much about their children. Kellie personally is not involved in any classroom activities or has anything to do with the facility outside of money and the showy displays at events to look like she care so much. Secondly.. They treat their employess horribly.. ive never been treated so disrespectfully in my life. They're rude, inconsiderate, selfish people. I considered myself a good employee and truly loved and cared for the children. I accomplished all tasks assigned to me and was always punctual with regular attendance and was treated brutally. I found a great facility to work for instead where I was valued for my hard work and loving care. I just wish people could see past the facade and find an alternative place for their child.

We started our 4-year old at Rosewood at the beginning of August. We were concerned about his academic development before he started there. It is amazing what he has accomplished in 5 months! He is on par or even ahead of where he needs to be. Our goal is for him to be ready for kindergarten this August- he will be ready! Thank you Fran, Kellie, Miss Kelsey and Miss Amanda. We know how much you love our son. He looks forward to coming to school everyday. I am a masters-prepared educator and I know he is receiving a quality education everyday. We are looking foward to having our infant daughter start there this spring.

My daughter attended here and I wasn't very happy. The teacher she had was very friendly, but when I came to stop by surprisingly the assistant was leading the class while the teacher was drinking coffee by the door. When this happened again the assistant informed me she was wanting to leave the job because the lead teacher often went home early when they were overstaffed. I also heard that Fran and Kelli cared little about what happened in the classroom or that the assistant was teaching most of the class. Additionally, my daughter wasn't learning much. I know have her in a montessori daycare and her writing, reading, spelling, and math abilities have exceeded double from that she was learning at Rosewood. The inside gym is great but it doesn't compensate for a teacher not teaching and a student not learning.

Its obvious that the owner or her husband wrote all the ratings, look at the dates! And NO this center is not what they make it out to be. First of all, they are clear out in the country, dirt roads, very hard to get to especially in bad weather. Dont let them fool you. Claiming they are a montesori sp?, isonly to make them more money. Anyone or any private center can buy from the same montessori book or magazine. Anyways, this center is way to "beefed up" for what its worth. I would for surely check other fremont centers that have a little more to offer.

The most caring center!! The teachers are overqualified and care so much about each child! I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else!!!!!

My son has been attending Rosewood for 3 years now and I have had nothing but a wonderful experience. Fran and Kelli are amazing and all of the teachers are dedicated and full of enthusiasm. I have had other parents make note of how well educated our 4 year old is compared to other kids his age. He loves it, we love it, and will be sad when he has to leave for kindergarten in a year!!! Thanks so much and keep up the amazing job!

My two children have attended Rosewood for the past year & a half. We could not be happier. Fran & Kelli set up amazing weekly lesson plans that include many creative & fun activities, letter of the week, spanish & other foreign languages, along with the requierment that all teachers must have a college degree. Field Trips, and daily walks to learn about nature are common, and there is not 1 television set anywhere in the center. The center is set up like a school - with very neat & clean classrooms around the perimeter, and a large indoor gym in the middle. If you are looking for a great place to send your children, I highly recommend Rosewood Academy!‎

My 4 1/2 yr old and 3 year old children are soooooo proud to claim Rosewood Academy as their "school". We have been with Rosewood since my oldest was 13 months old, and have been just thrilled with the staff and managment!! The curriculm is amazing, both children come home telling us facts about what they are learning. My oldest is more than ready for Kindergarten and I feel that my 3 year old would have been ready for Kindergarten at 2 1/2, now she is just being challenged more and more each day! We LOVE it, and would recommend Rosewood to everyone!

Rosewood is a warm and inviting place for children to learn. Each child is greeted and welcomed by name. Each family is encouraged to particiapte in a wide variety of activities with their child. Children "learn" through play at Rosewood. I have been luckily to have both my children attend Rosewood and would NEVER go anywhere else. My kids love Rosewood so much that they would rather give up a summer "playing" with Mom then leave "their" school in the summer. Thank you Kelli for providing a quality education to the children of the Omaha metro area!

I had my child here for a brief amount of time. The education here is lacking desperately. They seem just focused on having kids play and do cute art. I often saw teachers leaving classrooms for coffee breaks. Frequently I would pick up my child and see a different adult in the room everytime...as if the assistant/teacher in the room did not have the same schedule. My kid is in a new center now, and has drastically improved in writing, reading, and math skills that weren't encouraged or promoted at Rosewood.

Wow this center is a great asset to our community !
