Welcome to
Rose Garden Learning Academy
Our goal is to provide children with a complete and nurturing environment for the growth and development of the whole child. Through play, children learn about themselves, their environment, people, and the world around them.
Our Mission
Rose Garden Learning Academy’s mission is to help your child grow to be the best child they can be emotionally, socially and academically.
Our Philosophy
We believe each child is unique, so we commit to finding and building each child’s competencies and helping each child reach ambitious and feasible goals. We commit to developmentally appropriate practice, formally and informally observing progress towards developmentally appropriate milestones.
Our Programs
Our classrooms are designed to reflect the identities of each child and to provide age-appropriate experiences that stimulate their naturally inquisitive nature and spark growth. We support children in developing at their own paces, and through intentional observation and guidance, we help children reach their own ambitious and feasible goals.

Meet the Owner
My name is Michele Turner and I am the owner and director of Rose Garden Learning Academy, Inc. I currently reside in Tampa but, was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs. Child care has been part of my life ever since high school graduation. I started to work as an assistant teacher for a privately owned day care center. In the next 26 years, as the day care center grew, I slowly worked my way up the ladder from being the assistant teacher, to lead teacher, director and then finally district manager where I helped manage 10 schools, over 100 employees and hundreds of children. After my daughter, Jocelyn, and I left Illinois, we moved to Florida. I became the assistant director of an accredited preschool in Tampa.
Here we are now 32 years later (2022) and my dream has come true. I am honored to be the owner of Rose Garden Learning Academy and hope to be able to inspire all of the little minds that come through my door. I know that they will each touch my heart as every other child in my child care journey has so far.
