About Us

Welcome to Roosevelt Early Learning Center, the proud home of Faribault’s preschool and kindergarten students. At Roosevelt, we believe in nurturing curiosity, building confidence, and fostering a love of learning from the very beginning. Our dedicated staff provides a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where every child can thrive. As the first step in the Faribault Public Schools journey, we are honored to help lay a strong foundation for each student’s lifelong academic and personal success.

Attendance

Building the habit of daily attendance helps your child see that school is important. The only excused absences from school are for student illness, medical appointments that cannot be scheduled outside the school day or serious illness/death in the family. When your child is absent from school, please remember to call the health office by no later than 8:30 a.m. at 333-6701. Messages can be left at this number any time of the day or night. To insure that our students are safe, staff will be contacting families at home or work when we do not receive a call. When returning after an absence, students must bring a note indicating the nature of the absence.

Our teachers

  • Set high learning expectations for all students.

  • Offer leadership which allows these expectations to be achieved in a supportive, caring environment.

  • Place a high priority on spending the most time possible on facilitating learning while utilizing a relevant and continuous curriculum.
