Company Description - Amazing Explorers Academy

Amazing Explorers Academy is a new concept in pre‑school learning that is setting a 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.

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.

Now is the moment to join a fast‑growing, highly motivated, future‑oriented team of child care and education specialists who are committed to creating a better tomorrow today. If you have ever imagined helping our most eager and adaptable young learners develop the skills and interests that will be most relevant for success in the 21st century and beyond, come be a part of something special!
