Everyone knows Asher’s name which makes me believe they really take the time to identify with every child in the school. The facility is safe and that is very important to me. Keep up the great work! Tom ----- Author: Rachel Beatty Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/11/2023, 10:40:04 PM Review: We switched my 2 year old from another child care facility and my only regret is not doing it sooner. The administration is great and are always in communication. There is always a smiling face at the front door to greet you when you come in. My daughters knowledge has grown exponentially since she started. Coach Sam, Miss Jesse, Miss Stacey, and Miss Chrissy have been amazing with our daughter and we are so thankful ❤️ I would recommend AE to everyone who is looking for a safe, nurturing environment where you can be confident your child is having fun - learning - and is truly cared for.

Author: Elizabeth D Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/25/2023, 7:15:44 PM Review: AEA has been a blessing for our child. She has thrived in the environment and loves the different activities they do throughout the day in the large classrooms and playground. The cameras are phenomenal- to be able to watch your little one throughout the day and check in on them is so reassuring. The teachers have been amazing!! Very supportive and quick to update you if your child shows any symptoms of being sick. The school does a fabulous job of putting on events throughout the year. Very satisfied with their curriculum and healthy foods! ----- Author: Alexa Reedy Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/12/2023, 10:46:29 PM Review: My daughter started here in April on the 3 day a week schedule and has loved it from the start. The teachers and support staff are very involved and communicative with us as needed. The facility itself is always clean. One of the big things that drew my husband and I here is the layout which keeps the children’s safety in mind as well as the cameras inside the classrooms so you can check in through out the day. ----- Author: Jennifer Bradley Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/10/2023, 4:05:48 PM Review: We absolutely love AEA! Our kids (3.5 years and 19 months) have been attending for almost a year and they enjoy going each day. Their teachers truly care and the administrative staff is wonderful. The school is constantly having events and fun activities for the kids that have included ice cream trucks, petting zoos, first responder visits and a bubble truck! I also get peace of mind knowing I can check on the kids anytime with the live cameras on the app. I highly recommended this school. ----- Author: Brittany Erentreich Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/6/2023, 4:30:43 PM Review: We moved from another daycare to Amazing Explorers in Sept 2022 and we have been so blessed to have made that move! The teachers, administration are always making sure we are aware of things and comfortable. The cameras in the room are a great addition for safety! And the friendships my toddler has made are everlasting! 💙 ----- Author: Victoria A Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/2/2023, 4:20:40 PM Review: Our little has been at AE since she was 4 months old. Her teachers in room 1 have been amazing with her. Love that I can chat with them via the app and also check in with the cameras in her room. The daycare staff have been amazing with communication on activities, day center closures, and even illness when they go around her class room. They even reach out to check on my little when she is unexpectedly absent.

Worst experience of my life and my child's life. Horrible school for kids with special needs. If you have a kid with special needs do not bother. They will do everything in their power to kick him Out. This school will call parents to their job over the most little insignificant things they do not know how to handle children. They don't have the right staff or the proper training. The director of the Viera facility doesn't care about families and specially families with kids with special needs. after a few attempts and meetings to kick him out and complain about how they didn't have the resources to care for my child, they ended up calling DCF on me, even though I explained to them that my son was autistic, and sometimes he showed aggression towards himself. he got frustrated and hit himself with the door At my house. Police showed up at my door, at the school into my neighbor's house investigating and of course they didn't find anything so they drop the case immediately my son is a loving and caring boy, and they almost took him away from the person who loves him the most because of this school. He has a loving secure home. He goes to all his therapies. He is fed well, and he had never had a scratch on his body or Bruce, but yet this people after many attempts to kick him out, went to the last resort and knew we Would take him out after DCF showed up at our door. They sold me dreams about being able to handle my son with special needs and I believe them. I trusted them with my child and it was one of the most scariest thing I have been through in my life. I don't wish this upon anybody and I really hope that they change management and get the proper resources For all kids.

Wow, just wow. First of all, the staff at AEA beats any school staff that I have ever had to work with. Not only are they accommodating to my daughter, but they are also very patient and adaptable to any situation I throw at them. I get live updates on my daughter, pictures, access to the camera in her classroom, and sooo much more. Shannon is just a DREAM! I am so so SO grateful for the wonderful staff here, I cannot boast about them enough. As for the education part of this review. My daughter is reaching amazing milestones at such a young age. The teachers take time to really sit and teach the children. My daughter isn't put in front of a screen all day, she gets *very* healthy food, takes a nap, and has a routine, even on the weekends! I really couldn't recommend this school enough.

My children love this daycare. The hours are good, they offer a nice variety of lunch food (snacks aren't as varied), the playground has turf and lots of great play items. All classrooms have cameras and the app keeps track of feedings, diaper changes, sleep, and activities so you will know what your little one was up to all day. The tuition is high in my opinion ($305/week for a 1 year old and a 5% discount on the second child). We have had our children enrolled for 3 months and 1 week and the daycare has been closed 5 days in that time. An upcoming day off is THE DAY BEFORE Veterans Day, which is not a day I would assume most employers give off...Something to consider if you don't have ample vacation days saved to be able to take off for closures. TLDR: Great daycare, but the excessive days that they are closed (that you still have to pay for) are very challenging to navigate as a working parent.

As an educator, I am very particular with where my daughters who are 3 and 1attend daycare. The staff, teachers, administrators and curriculum have greatly exceeded my expectations. My daughters love attending Amazing Explorers Viera as there is always something fun happening! My oldest daughter is always asking when she is going back and my youngest is always smiles and giggles the whole time she is there. AEA has had an amazing impact on our family!

We love AEA! AEA was recommended to us and though we were waitlisted, we are so grateful we got in. Our son has adjusted so well to his first daycare experience and really enjoys his time with his friends and teachers. The staff and teachers are fantastic, very friendly, and genuinely care for the kids. They do a great job of keeping parents informed of any reports, sickness, etc. Parents also have the ability to check-in on the classroom via the app video, which is really nice! We have been impressed with the curriculum, activities, and events held. Highly recommend AEA Viera!!

Love seeing my boys enjoying school everyday at Amazing Explorers. The partnership that the administrators/teachers have with the parents is what makes this school great.
