Prepared to Amaze
This is one pre-school that absolutely lives up to its name.
It’s a safe bet that Amazing Explorers Academy, in the Windermere-Ocoee area, is unlike any pre-school you’ve ever heard of. And, as Laura Davis, their Director, is quick to point out, “We are a pre-school, not a daycare center. Our children are here to learn and develop skills that will help them create a strong foundation for 21st century learning.”
The age range at Amazing Explorers? “We accept children from five weeks old up through four years.” Let that one sink in for a moment. Infants in a pre-school? What can a five-week-old infant learn in a pre-school? A lot, it turns out…
All of the teaching moments in Amazing Explorers, regardless of age, are hands-on and sensory based. The very young ones, for example, looked after by a certified infant care teacher, learn to feel safe and comfortable and soon grow accustomed to a very different, compassionate, nurturing environment. They teach the young ones colors and shapes, then gradually introduce counting and math.
The “amazing” part ratchets up from there.
Amazing Explorers Academy is a very new, very modern pre-school concept with resources that are, in a word, amazing. They have a steam lab and a hydroponics garden where they grow herbs their chef uses to prepare lunches. They have a wind tunnel. They teach engineering. They provide regular, Spanish immersion classes in 30-minute sessions.
“Our routines and activities are surprising to parents. The key is to engage a child, get him or her playing and learning at the same time. All these early experiences shape how their early brains develop. It’s unbelievable what these kids are capable of. We have them actually coding, doing graphic arts, by the end of their fourth year they are creating Powerpoint presentations!”
Yes. Powerpoint presentations … Amazed yet?
Laura puts it this way: “What we do sparks their imaginations and teaches them at the same time. And that sparks their desire to continue learning. Because once they experience it, they always want more.” Amazing Explorers is enrolling—call to schedule your tour now!
