Company Summary

Amazing Explorers Academy is a new concept in pre-school learning that is setting a higher

standard for early childhood education. Our company is currently experiencing rapid



expansion both via franchising and corporate-owned locations in Texas, Florida and

eventually, nationwide.

The entire Amazing Explorers Academy preschool experience is designed to provide the

youngest among us with a ?vision of the future? via a truly innovative early learning

environment that is unlike any other. It was created by a taskforce of leading thinkers in a

broad range of multidisciplinary fields including university professors, technology experts

and community leaders. They realized that early childhood is the critical moment when

humans are most open to learning and exploration. Therefore, it is the most crucial period

for introducing the skills and concepts that will be essential for success in the 21st century

and beyond.



STEAM Exploration

Unlike many traditional preschools that simply provide basic daycare, each Amazing

Explorers Academy location is expressly formulated to deliver a comprehensive

educational curriculum that inspires both ?confidence? and ?passion? in the areas of

science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) at the earliest possible age.

Aside from having a dedicated STEAM activity area that is central to the school?s design,

these topics are incorporated into every possible situation, from the guided ?play? of the

youngest learners to the ?project-based learning? of older students. The result is better

problem solving, more creativity, openness to collaboration and enhanced critical thinking.

These are just some of the essential ?life skills? that our Amazing Explorers Academy

parents are truly excited about when they decide to enroll their children at one of our

locations.

Amazing Explorers Academy is constantly innovating in terms of facilities, curriculum,

safety, programming, and team development. We are committed to using advanced

technology in every possible aspect of our business, from the in-class cameras that give

both parents and staff a sense of security and transparency, to our custom AEA mobile app

which promotes better teacher-parent communication about important daily events,

waste by moving old-fashioned forms or reports to modern electronic versions. And, we

are implementing advanced online systems for staff training, onboarding and daily school

management, thereby ensuring that every member of our team has every possible

resource to be Amazing, right at their fingertips.
