The future is unpredictable, and the world is evolving faster than ever.
As technology becomes an integral part of daily life, sustainability takes center stage, and global challenges demand innovative solutions, our children must be ready to navigate this ever-changing landscape.
While we explore space and push technological boundaries, essential human skills—empathy, collaboration, and communication—remain just as crucial.
The question is: are we preparing our children to thrive in this dynamic world?
Inspiring and Empowering Our Future Leaders
At Amazing Explorers Academy (AEA), we embrace the mission of preparing young minds to confidently forge their own paths.
Since our founding in 2017, we have grown steadily, with over 25 locations across five states, bringing high-quality early education to families nationwide.
But what makes AEA stand out from other preschools and daycare centers?
While we recognize the importance of preparing children for their school years, our goal extends far beyond that: we strive to instill a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
A Unique Educational Approach
Our curriculum is built on well-established educational philosophies, including STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and the Reggio Emilia approach.
Our facilities are thoughtfully designed to create an engaging environment where educators inspire curiosity and creativity through hands-on experiences.
Here are some of AEA’s signature programs that foster a deep love of learning:
- Spanish Studies
- Zen Zones
- Sign Language
- Robotics & Coding
- STEAM Education
- Project-Based Learning
For families looking to further enrich their child’s experience, we offer optional paid enrichment programs, including STEAM Cuisine and STEAM Sports.
Our commitment to excellence goes beyond academics. Each AEA location maintains a clean, safe environment equipped with security features like live-stream cameras, offering parents peace of mind.
Families also appreciate our dedicated staff and exceptional management team, who work tirelessly to create a nurturing space for children to thrive.
Our Vision for AEA Students
Our guiding principle is the holistic development of every child.
We want our students to cultivate a lifelong passion for learning, develop strong social skills, and build the confidence to pursue their dreams. We want them to embrace challenges, seeing obstacles not as barriers but as opportunities to grow.
Through play-based learning and STEAM-focused methodologies, we nurture cognitive, social, and physical development. We also empower our educators with cutting-edge teaching techniques and resources, ensuring they are equipped to provide an exceptional early education experience.
Great Things Take Time: Ellie’s Story
Real-life success stories bring our mission to life. One such story is that of Ellie, a shy three-year-old whose journey at AEA was nothing short of transformative. As shared by AEA’s Operations Manager, Jamie Yeomans, Ellie faced challenges when she first joined our preschool.
Supporting a Child’s Transition to Preschool
Having never been in a classroom setting before, Ellie struggled with separation anxiety. The first few days were tough—she clung to her mom, hesitant to engage with teachers or classmates.
Our dedicated educators took a compassionate approach, slowly building trust. They sat with her during quiet moments, provided gentle encouragement, and reassured her that she was never alone.
Working closely with Ellie’s mom, we celebrated small victories along the way, ensuring a smooth transition.
The Power of Patience and Encouragement
By the end of the first week, Ellie cautiously observed her classmates at play.
In week two, she joined a group activity—hesitant at first but gaining confidence with each interaction.
By week three, she was actively participating in circle time, singing songs, and proudly showcasing her artwork.
Today, Ellie is a confident, curious learner who thrives in our nurturing environment. Her story is a testament to the impact of early childhood education done right—helping children gain confidence, build connections, and discover the joy of learning.
Recognized Excellence
At AEA, we take pride in our outstanding facilities and unique programs, but the recognition from families and official institutions further validates our commitment to excellence.
Some of our notable distinctions include:
- Exceptional School Readiness Rates – Our Orlando locations have received official state VPK ratings of 98% and 100%, demonstrating that AEA students are exceptionally well-prepared for elementary school.
- Gold Seal Quality Care Program – Endorsed by the Florida Department of Education, this designation acknowledges childcare facilities that exceed state quality standards.
- National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs (NAC) – A testament to our high standards in administration, curriculum, professional development, family engagement, health and safety, and teacher-child interactions.
Technology That Enhances the Experience
STEAM is at the heart of our curriculum, but it also influences how we connect with families.
We streamline the enrollment process with our easy-to-use online platform, allowing parents to schedule tours and complete registration effortlessly.
Once enrolled, families gain access to the AEA App, a proprietary tool providing real-time updates on their child’s school activities, helping parents stay engaged in their child’s daily experiences.
