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,
achievement and student milestones. We are reducing paperwork, classroom clutter and
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.
