In addition to the STEAM curriculum, the classroom curriculum builds early literacy and math skills as well as social and school-readiness skills. The teachers are enthusiastic and seem to really care about the children. Through their app, you receive live updates of what your child is doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend AEA to other parents and caregivers. ----- Author: Patricia Alberto Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/2/2023, 5:39:08 PM Review: Our family is extremely happy with amazing explorers! The space is clean, modern and well maintained. Staff is polite, kind and attentive to every detail. The teachers are dynamic and very creative and thoughtful with the curriculum.

The cameras and app are a big plus for us too. ----- Author: Joel Diaz Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/18/2022, 11:34:16 PM Review: My wife and I are the picky parents when it came to finding the right daycare. Believe me when I say we looked at every daycare in the vicinity and even those an hour away. Since day 1, we have no regrets about signing our son up at Amazing Explorers. I'm happy to tell you what makes it so great. The curriculum and activities that the wonderful teachers do on a weekly basis changes and is enriching to the children. They really put their best effort forward to make sure every child is learning and having fun doing so. We may be a bit bias, but Miss Jay goes above and beyond her duties as an instructor. You can tell her passion for what she does and the love she has for all the kids at the school. We are eternally grateful our son ended up in her classroom. The security and safety measures they have in the school make me feel confident and comfortable that my son is in the best hands. From enhanced cleaning protocols to stifle the dreaded daycare germs and the security measures in place to make sure you, and only you, can pick up your child are wonderful. Most daycares we visited felt like a factory but AEA felt more like a home. All this is of course is possible thanks to the collaboration and partnership between parents, teachers, and the amazing front office staff. My son is actually excited to walk through the front door to play a quick game of peek-a-boo with Miss Brittany or get a comforting loving hug from Miss Jennifer, who is the director of the school. Miss Jennifer runs a fantastic academy and I hope she continues to do so for the many years to come. Her love and dedication to her students comes through every single day I see her. If you are considering any daycare in the Ponte Vedra area, I cannot recommend enough to look into AEA. Your child will grow, thrive, learn, and love to be there. Take it from two crazy parents who scoured Jacksonville looking for the right place!

Review this school on the DCF website. Our child had a classmate left on the playground alone. The child was not found until another class went outside. Reviewing DCF you will see this type of incident has happened more than once. Our child received a black eye while at school and when I asked what occurred, the director asked me if I was sure they didn't come to school with the black eye. The teacher watched the incident occur that caused the black eye, but nothing was reported. Additionally, our child's first teacher was let go after being aggressive with children in the class. This is just a sample of our experience with AEA.
Teachers and staff are amazing for our little explorers
AEA has been great for my kids. My son learned so much in VPK and is now in kindergarten and thriving because of the skills his teacher instilled in him. My 3 year old also loves her class, friends and teachers. Having a location so close to home just makes being working parents easier
Amazing Explorers Academy is an incredible, caring, and safe child care environment. The entire staff is very communicative with parents and provide each child with the enrichment they need through their engagement. I highly recommend AEA.
My Son is in the infant room and is having the time of his life. All of the teachers are caring, responsible, trustworthy and flexible. They treat your child like their family. The activities even in the infant room are based on development which makes me feel happy about my choice in daycare.

Both of our girls have gone to Amazing Explorers Academy and we have had a wonderful experience. I can’t say enough good things about the school. All of the staff have been patient, loving, kind, and effective in their roles. Our oldest started Kindergarten this year and we couldn’t be happier with the experience she had in VPK last year to prep her for starting Kindergarten this year.
The absolute BEST teachers and friendly admin
My 4 year old LOVES Amazing Explorers! She says everyone is her best friend, even her teachers :) The staff is always friendly and the rooms filled with joy. We couldn’t be happier.
Best experience in child care! Staff is very caring and loving, both my girls have had a great experience. They are treated like family, and we have been at this location since they opened. Highly recommend!
