Rosen Parramore (PS 8 Foundation) is a tuition-free, mission-driven preschool serving 2- to 4-year-old children in the Parramore neighborhood of downtown Orlando through 24 classrooms with a capacity approaching 315 children. Founded by philanthropist Harris Rosen as a replication of his successful Tangelo Park Program, the center provides full-day care with meals and aligns curriculum with Orange County Public Schools while offering a college scholarship pipeline for graduating students. Its inspection record is notably strong with ten of eleven completed inspections showing zero violations from 2023–2026, though accreditation status remains unconfirmed. The program does not serve infants and relies on limited public review data to substantiate quality claims for prospective families.
