Rosewood Hotels and Resorts has launched a new series of programs geared at educating children and engaging them in new experiences.

The program, geared for the hotels’ youngest clientele, provides kids with special services, amenities and convenience items specifically designed for them. Programs include everything from  piñata making and pottery class at Rosewood San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, to tall ship building and pirate storytime telling at Rosewood Little Dix Bay in the British Virgin Islands, and participating in a nature scavenger hunt at Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park in California.

What makes Rose Buds programming unique is that it offers something that engages every child in their surrounding environment so program options vary based on Rosewood location.

Rose Buds utilizes the Montessori Method of teaching, a style of educating developed by Italian physician Maria Montessori that emphasizes independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological development, all while fully utilizing today's technological advancements. The American Montessori Society notes that the key components of their method involve mixed-age classrooms, the students’ personal choice of classes based on a variety of options and focuses on a “discovery” work model where kids learn by working and doing rather than being given exact instructions.

The program was inspired by Rosewood’s signature A Sense of Place philosophy, a staple of the company ensuring that each of the 17 Rosewood locations, scouring seven countries, offer a uniquely authentic experience. Rose Buds Children’s Programming captures that philosophy to integrate locale, culture, customs, nature and history into every facet of the property, staff and service. A diverse variety of Rose Bud programming is offered at each Rosewood Hotels and Resorts property.
