Amazing Explorers Academy Asturia - Odessa, Florida

My daughter absolutely loves her time at Amazing Explorer Academy! The teachers are incredibly caring and always willing to help. In just a short time, she has learned so much—numbers, colors, shapes—and she’s only 2 years old! It’s amazing to see her know all the colors and shapes already. Every day, they engage the kids in a variety of fun and educational activities, which keeps her excited to go back. We are extremely satisfied with the care and attention she receives here, and I highly recommend this daycare to all parents looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their children

From my personal experience, this school has been nothing but wonderful. Christa and Coraliz had to deal with me and my mom anxiety from putting my kids in school and they were super reassuring, patient and kind with me. Now let’s talk about my kids’ teachers! They’re AMAZING!!! Ms. Bree, Ms. Maria, Ms. Stefania, and Ms. Kita are the most caring sweet nurturing teachers. I can tell my kids feel very safe with them and they’re super happy when I come to pick them up. I love seeing the activities they do throughout the day being updated consistently on the app and having camera access to their classroom is an added peace of mind. Honestly, I just love these teachers because nothing means more to me than when someone is kind and caring about my kids. I highly recommend this school and I’m so glad I found it!

I would like to highlight the high professionalism of “Amazing Explorers Academy”, sensitive attitude towards children, care, attention, kindness and warmth, individual approach to each family. The educational process is organized in such a way that all the little things of everyday life are taken into account. Children are happy to go to kindergarten, because there they will be met by their favorite teachers (I would especially like to highlight Miss Ameera), with whom it is easy and interesting for them. The group has a comfortable, warm atmosphere thanks to understanding and equality. You teach our children to be friends and respect each other, to create and fantasize, to appreciate the beautiful, to be honest, kind, caring. Our children are proud of their achievements, they are happy to show us their crafts, and they repeat with interest at home what they did in kindergarten. Step by step, under your sensitive guidance, children learn about the world around them, the joy of friendship, their personal capabilities. The group is clean and tidy, comfortable and cozy. We trust you completely, because it is very important for a parent to know that their child is in safe hands when they leave their child for almost the entire day. We are calm about the life and safety of our children, because they have a real team of professionals next to them. We are very grateful to you. Thank you! We are very lucky to have you!

Our family has been with this daycare for several years now, and overall, we’ve had a positive experience. I have a 3.5-year-old who has been attending since she was 4 months old, and a 5-month-old currently in the infant room. The transition for both of them has been smooth, thanks to the dedicated, caring staff. The teachers are attentive, kind, and really seem to know each child personally, which gives us peace of mind as parents.

The director, Christa, is a standout—always available to answer questions, address concerns, and ensure the center runs smoothly. One of the most convenient features is the advanced app they use, which allows us to check in on our children throughout the day. The app provides updates, photos, and even a direct line of communication with the caregivers, making it easier to stay involved in our kids' daily routines.

Another big plus is the daycare's schedule. They’re open during most school holidays, which is incredibly helpful for working parents, with the exception of federal holidays, as expected. They also host fun events for families, creating a nice sense of community that fosters connections between parents and children.

That said, there are some drawbacks to consider, which are the reasons for my imperfect star rating. Since the daycare is part of a corporate chain, it’s priced about 8-10% higher than other local centers, which can add up over time. The fees don't stop there, though. There’s a yearly $150 registration fee for existing families (per child), and we also face additional charges for supplies—$75 at the beginning and middle of the school year. While we understand some costs are unavoidable, it feels frustrating that these supplies aren’t included, especially when teachers, like in public schools, are still expected to purchase their own materials.

The extra fees and ongoing costs can definitely feel like a bit much, especially considering the premium pricing. However, the quality of care and peace of mind knowing our children are in good hands helps offset some of these concerns. If you don’t mind the added costs and are looking for a reliable, caring daycare with a strong community vibe, this place is a solid choice.

The entire staff at AEA are amazing. Our daughter simply loves it there and knowing she is learning, being nurtured, safe and loved there is a huge relief. The facilities are fantastic and it's just an all round great place for kids to shine

My son started AEA when he was 3.5 years in Older Three's Classroom with Ms.Coraliz, now the Assistant Director. Drop off were so difficult everyday as i would be in a class where he could see me, but it was Ms.Coraliz who made it so smooth. She wouldn't hesitate to stand up amid the circle time and hold my boy to comfort him. She would communicate each and every detail about his day via the App or in person. Ms.Coraliz thank you for all the love and care you showered on us. We truly Love you. ♥️

Right now he is in VPK classroom with Ms.Morgan and Ms.Ariel. I can see only see the positive changes in him. He is getting better at problem solving, communicates well of his needs to the teachers and friends. He loves getting creative just like Ms.Morgan, and enjoys Music like Ms.Ariel. Thank you Ms.Morgan and Ms.Ariel for taking good care of my baby.

Ms.Christa you're truly Amazing. You make such good relations with all the childrens and their families. You have always listened to my concerns about my son and made sure he is alright and taken good care of. Thank you for always checking on him. He is in such good hands i need not worry. He is happy all day long at AEA Asturia, i couldn't have found a better place than this.

A big thank you to all the Amazing Teachers who work at AEA.

My son has been here since he was an infant and he is now two. I have to clarify, I only stayed for as long as I did because of Ms Rommy, Ms Rosalim, Ms Linda, and Ms Miledy. He's had a hard time transitioning classrooms and every single time the director consistently does not follow their own protocols and my child is left to fend on his own until he adapts. On 9/10/24, we went to pick him early because I was alerted by NOT even his own teacher that he was not napping or eating. Upon arriving, we could hear an adult screaming from down the hallway. When we arrived to the door, teacher was aggressively screaming at my 2 year old and restraining his hands telling him to stop crying. Teacher proceeded to get argumentative stating "her classroom, her rules." This was addressed with the director but unfortunately, there was no further follow up and no conversation addressing ours concerns and what they could do to regain trust that my son would be in a safe and nurturing environment. If your child is a baby, this is a great option but once they reach toddler years, this daycare is not competent and director will ignore your concerns in hopes they go away. I have submitted a proper report with the directors boss and I am submitting this review now that my son is out of the daycare to avoid any retaliation. I'm aware that they will respond to this saying post with a generic "please stop by to further discuss" and I'd like to make it very clear that I have spoken to the director multiple times with no regard and unfortunately had to remove my son.

My kid got bumped into the monkey bar in the play ground.
IMO, the equipment shouldn’t have been installed there in the first place, it’s such a solid piece attached to the ground and any kid may trip over and bump into the solid piece. Such a bad experience, today it’s my kid but tomorrow it may be someone else. They need to address the issue!
