Dear Rose Garden Families,
It is with a full heart and much reflection that I share some important news with you. After 35 wonderful years in early childhood education, I have made the very difficult decision to retire and to sell Rose Garden Learning Academy, effective Tuesday January 27. I'm doing my best to talk to each of you individually, but I have not been able to reach all of you and want to give you as much notice as contractually I am able.
Serving children and families has been more than a career to me—it has been a calling, a joy, and one of the greatest blessings of my life. Watching your children grow, learn, and flourish has meant more to me than words can express. I am incredibly grateful for the trust you have placed in me and for the opportunity to be part of so many families’ lives over the years.
I am confident that Rose Garden is in excellent hands moving forward. The new owner, Mr. Javed Khan, shares a strong commitment to quality early childhood education, and I truly believe he will do a wonderful job continuing the values and care that make Rose Garden so special. The new name of the school will be Creative Early Learning Academy.
In addition, I am pleased to share that Ms. Tristanna will be stepping into the role of Director. She has proven herself to be more than capable on a daily basis, and her dedication, leadership, and genuine care for the children and families make her the perfect fit for this role.
While this decision did not come easily, I know in my heart that it is the right time. Although I will miss each of you terribly, I am looking forward to spending time traveling, relaxing, and making memories with my family as I begin this new chapter.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your children’s early years and for making Rose Garden feel like an extended family. I will forever cherish the memories we have made together.
May God bless each and every one of you.
With heartfelt gratitude and love,
Michele Turner

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Jazmin! 🎂🎉
Today we are celebrating one of our very own, our wonderful One year old teacher, Mrs. Jazmin! 💖She is always the first to jump into action wherever she’s needed, from cuddling our tiniest infants, handling our busy and energetic toddlers, to lending a helping hand with our big kids! Mrs. Jazmin’s smile lights up our classrooms, and she treats every child in our care with so much love, patience, and compassion, truly as if they were her own. You can ask anyone, she truly has a heart of gold. Her dedication, kindness, and heart for children do not go unnoticed, and we are beyond grateful for everything she brings to our center.
We love you, Mrs. Jazmin, and are so thankful to have you as part of our Rose Garden Family.
Wishing you a birthday as special and amazing as you are! 💕🎈

Owner and Director
A little bit about myself....
My name is Michele Turner and I am the owner and director of Rose Garden Learning Academy. 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 daycare 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 I left Illinois, I moved to Florida and became the assistant director of an accredited preschool in Tampa.
Here we are now 28 years later 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.
