We love all of the infant room teachers and everyone at the front desk! It is incredible to see a curriculum put together for babies at this age and the care put into helping them develop and grow. We were really nervous leaving her at such a young age, but I cannot say enough great things about Amazing Explorers Academy Vista Lakes. We made the best decision to go here! ----- Author: Celeste Sierra Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/15/2024, 3:39:16 PM Review: Our baby started here at 3.5 months old. She loves it! I was extremely nervous starting her in daycare so young but I feel very comfortable having her enrolled here. The infant teachers care about her growth and progress. And they go above and beyond every single day. I typically never leave reviews but had to give them praise and encourage any new parents looking for daycares, that this is a safe place for your baby!

The staff is incredible caring and attentive to the children's needs. The facility is clean, safe, and well maintained, providing a nurturing environment for kids to learn and play. The educational programs are engaging, helping children develop essential skills. I'm impressed with the daily activities, which included both indoor and outdoor playtime, fostering physical and social development. Communication with parents is excellent, ensuring that we're always informed about our child's progress. I highly recommend Amazing Explorers for anyone looking for quality care and early childhood education. ----- Author: Zakia Amos Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/23/2023, 2:20:27 PM Review: My daughter started AEA almost a month ago, and so far so good. Here‚Äôs why I chose this school: Security- I was initially planning to send my child to the Primrose school. But after a tour with the assistant director, I felt the site had severe security deficiencies. AEA has SEVERAL security features! And after speaking with the Director Ms. Mio, I felt even more confident that my child would be safe here. Facility- I visited the school twice before deciding to enroll my child. Each time the building, including classrooms were immaculate! Even while the students were playing in them. That told me that the teachers are following a very routine and effective cleanling policy/procedure. Curriculum- I was very intrigued by the idea of my 3 year old being introduced to STEAM at young age. AEA has a great curriculum and offers the children tons of hands on learning. My Experience: My experience so far has been consistent with what I was presented on both of my tours prior to enrolling. The facility is spotless! The curriculum is consistently interactive and engaging. I get several updates throughout the day. The Leadership and staff are friendly, warm, welcoming, and great with the kids. I had so much anxiety regarding my baby starting daycare/school for the first time. But so far our experience has been great, and I can breathe! üòÖ Hope this helps any parents out there still deciding. ----- Author: Arielle Baldassari Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/11/2023, 12:57:22 PM Review: We absolutely love love love Amazing Explorers Vista Lakes! We have had our oldest son there for over 2 years and our youngest son there for 8 months. Both of our boys have learned so much at this STEAM based school while also having so much fun. All of the teachers and staff are just phenomenal, they really get to know and love your kids. It is such a safe, caring, and education environment; I could not imagine taking my boys anywhere else. So thankful for this school and staff!!! ----- Author: Charity Liao Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/2/2023, 8:25:03 PM Review: We started both our boys at AE when they turned one. A big factor when choosing a school were camera access to classrooms which AE offers two of. We've gotten to know and love the teachers and admin team. We would recommend AE Vista Lakes to anyone looking for a safe, fun and STEAM based school!

But when it comes up to the administration staff, as long as you don't complain, you'll be on their good side. There's been times when we have our kids there and they will tell us that one of them is sick but when we pick them up, there is no symptoms at home. This happened 90% of the time. I feel like they try to find any little thing to send your kids home in most cases. All in all, this daycare is too expensive and you end up spending most of your time home with your kids. ----- Author: Leanne Herrel Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/16/2023, 2:47:53 AM Review: AEA Vista Lakes is absolutely incredible. From the facility itself to its amazing staff, this is where you want to enroll your child‚Äîwithout question! The curriculum is so unique and diverse and my child has learned so much here in the 5 months we‚Äôve been enrolled. Can‚Äôt say enough great things about this place!! ----- Author: Paige P Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/15/2023, 11:32:42 PM Review: Amazing Explorers Vista Lakes is truly incredible. There are not enough words to describe how great this school is. This is our daughter's second daycare and there is just no where like Amazing Explorers. The teachers and administrative staff are incredible and the STEAM curriculum is really amazing. All the staff seem to love their jobs and they take care of the children as if they were their own. Ms. Mio, the director is very passionate and caring about the school and made us feel that we were part of the AEA family from the very first day. Ms. Mary and Ms. Aya who are also a part of the administrative team are also wonderful. There is always a warm welcome by everyone when walking into the school. So far we have had the pleasure of having Ms. Trinitee, Ms. Audrey, Ms. Belen, Ms. Sandra, Ms. Kelly, and Ms. Kristin as her teachers during our time at AEA. They have all been phenomenal. We also love Ms. Millie and Ms. Nelly who help take care of the kids at early drop off. The school is safe and clean, the food is healthy, and the children are always engaged in various activities throughout the day. Sports and music classes are even included. We love the frequent photo updates and camera access in the app. It is all included with the tuition, unlike other schools. We have been with AEA for about a year now. Switching her school was the best decision we made. Thank you AEA Vista Lakes! We are so thankful for your wonderful team. We highly recommend AEA! ----- Author: Cynthia Ayo-Siegel Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/15/2023, 11:10:31 PM Review: The staff is what makes this school so AWESOME!!! We love eveything about this school, my son has been going here for 2 and a half years. The school is clean, curriculum is age appropriate and the teachers are dedicated and loving. ----- Author: Kara Pe√±a Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/26/2023, 4:06:08 AM Review: My son has been attending for over a year now, and we truly love it. The school is spacious, clean, they have fun activities planned about every month, the food is great, and the teachers are caring. The curriculum is good and it seems like the kids learn something new every day. I love getting all my child's artwork every month. The STEAM room they have is great too and the admin assistant and directors are wonderful - they remember your child's name and always greet you. The new labeled name bags and water bottles are a nice touch. It's definitely worth our 25-30min drive! ----- Author: Zakia Amos Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/23/2023, 2:20:27 PM Review: My daughter started AEA almost a month ago, and so far so good.

He has learned so much and also has fun! Our second child will be starting here in a few months and we are so excited for him. Highly recommend this school!!!

Author: Danielle Bergman Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/19/2023, 3:55:32 PM Review: Amazing explorers on Lee vista has been such a blessing to our family. We’ve been bringing our daughter here since she was 4 months old. The teachers in the baby room are hands down so compassionate and dedicated to the babies development. I attribute a lot of our daughters development and knowledge to the skills they have helped her achieve. We are constantly impressed with all the activities and the attention they provide to our little one. We also love the transparency with the cameras and photos of all the fun throughout the day! Hands down would recommend! ----- Author: Maria Ramirez Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/10/2023, 3:16:15 PM Review: We have been part of amazing explorers for 3.5 years, we’ve had a great experience! my boy loves his school and so do I! The teachers are amazing, the administrative staff is incredible! I also love the fact that they have cameras and I can take a peek at my boy during his daily activities! Best school around I totally recommend it to anyone! ----- Author: calvin amerson Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/24/2023, 12:06:30 PM Review: Amazing Explorers is great.

We started right after they opened and after having him home the first year we were very anxious about him being away from us. The teachers and staff were truly incredible. They cared for him as if he was family. He wasn’t a great sleeper so putting him down for naps was always a chore but again the teachers and administrators were so patient and helpful. They have 2 cameras in every room and update the app regularly so checking up on my son throughout the day was easy. VPK teachers Ms Millie and Ms Sophia are superstars and my son loved them. Best of all we know he is well ahead of “kindergarten ready” and I know so much of that is because of his time at AEA. Flash forward to Ms. Mio taking over as director and it just got even better. She was fantastic from day one and to see her take the lead was definitely exciting. There are more activities and events for kids and families. She is always caring and responsive to questions and concerns. AEA is definitely the place to send your kids for a fantastic education, caring and dedicated staff, and an amazing head start in life!

Amazing place for my kid to spend the day!!! We love to see her development!!! Totally recommend!!!
We love Amazing Explorers! My child started out in the infant room and is now in the toddler class. The teachers take great care of the children. The admin staff is also amazing and they always greet each student by their name. The daily activities are also very engaging. My daughter learns so much every day!

This is the best daycare with wonderful conditions for children, fantastic staff who make the classes a truly captivating experience, an excellent learning program. My child comes here every day with great pleasure, and I am glad that I chose Amazing Explorers
We loved our experience at Amazing Explorers. Elijah was always so excited to share what he learned at school with us. With topics ranging from the alphabet and numbers to dinosaurs , butterflies and the mummies of ancient Egypt, lessons were completely engaging and inspired a love of learning . His teachers were always great and loving with him. Ms Mio was a very hands on director who could be seen working hard daily and who could always tell when I needed a helping hand. Ms. Aya was always so sweet with Elijah and ready with a pumpkin( lol) or a sticker ( or 50) when needed . Ms Mary is just fun and sunshine bottled in a person and Elijah loved her so much.Thank you for taking care of him during his time at the school.
My wife and I have had a incredible experience with Amazing Explorers Academy Vista Lakes. The academy is always clean and it provides all the technology for the parents peace of mind. Communication with parents is excellent, the teachers are always willing to let you know how was your child's day. The teachers are so loving, patient and caring. My son is there since he was 14 months old. It was hard to choose the right daycare for him and we are so happy we found Amazing Explorers among many other options. The activities that kids do daily are wonderful and very educational. I highly recommend Amazing Explorers for anyone looking for quality care and early childhood education.
I absolutely love Amazing Explorers at Vista Lakes! The teachers and administrators here are incredibly personable and have made the deliberate effort to get to know both my child and me. It's incredible to see them remember and greet each student by name every morning as we get to the school each day. The daily activities are tailored to the age-group of the class and are development-focused which seems to keep my child engaged and eager to participate. The teachers have been a delight and have genuinely connected with my child. The app is easy to use and keeps me up to date on how my child is eating or napping. I highly recommend this daycare for its exceptional professionalism, personalized care, and commitment to their mission.
