Your Session Leader
Hi, I’m Rose the proud owner of Teenie Rockets Southend! I am a mum of two little ones under
3 – I have an adventurous little girl, and a playful little boy.
I am a former Teenie Rockets Mum, and I witnessed my own children thrive, through play,
music, and exploration in these sessions! This is what inspired me to embark on a new career
journey with Teenie Rockets. I want to offer others a safe space, full of joy, laughter, and energy.
A place where not only will your little one grow, learn and build confidence, but a place where
you will bond with your child.
I am excited to welcome you and your little one on a magical journey with Teenie Rockets.
Together we will explore a new theme each week of the year, where we will see little minds
become curious, excited, and engaged. Whilst offering you a safe and calm environment, where
you can meet others with children of the same age group! (I met most of my ‘mum network’
through Teenie Rocket classes – which gave me a support network in and outside of the
sessions)!
Whether you are new to Teenie Rockets, or returning for another term, I can’t wait to see you in
the sessions building beautiful memories!
