Amazing Explorers Academy Windermere

"As a proud owner of three schools, I've had the privilege of leading and observing our team nurture and educate children from our communities in Windermere, Lake Nona, and Winter Garden. Both of my sons, who embarked on their educational journey at Amazing Explorers, are now thriving in 2nd grade and actively engaging in our STEM events. Our schools were meticulously designed to offer a premium education in a warm, family-oriented environment. Our halls are filled with bright smiles, positive energy, and boundless love. It's truly an honor to play a role in shaping the educational experiences of these young minds. I personally extend a warm invitation for you to visit us and meet our dedicated leadership team, experience the excellence of our teachers, explore our state-of-the-art facilities, and witness firsthand the top-quality education we provide. We look forward to welcoming you into the Amazing Explorers family."

"Our son has been attending AEA Windermere since August 2023, and this is the first daycare/preschool we've tried. Based on our experience in Classroom 9 with Ms. Alissa, as well as the other teachers in the class, and support staff, I feel the school is making every effort to hire teachers and staff who genuinely care about the wellbeing of our kids. My son loved going into Classroom 9 every day at drop-off, and happily blew me kisses on my way out! He has recently transitioned into Classroom 8, which is in a period of transition as the teacher from Classroom 8 recently left. It's too soon to tell how he'll do in this class, because it's only been a week -- but I am very eager to see how things work out. I do believe the new director Mrs. Helen is going to find a teacher who meets the parents' expectations. I can't decide between 4 or 5 stars. We have had MOSTLY wonderful interactions and experiences here, but no place is perfect, so I've settled on 4 for now. Overall, as first time parents, I feel good about our decision to enroll him here!"

"I don’t recommend the school. We left - it’s a hot mess. I’ve seen a teacher grabbing a 1 year old aggressively & couldn’t have my infant be around her (the teacher is now in the infant room). My son used to love school but suddenly started hyperventilating when I tried to take him into his new room (he loved his old teacher Ms. Irene). 10+ teachers & the assistant director all left within a month. You never know who is going to watch your child that day. The school is very pretty but a toxic place to take your child.don’t waste your money on the expensive tuition. Keep your child away from Jada She is NASTY and screams at children. She was the final straw. I talked to multiple teachers who left who all said she is horrible towards children. I spoke to another mom from my sons old class who said Jada is also why they left & like me ate the two week notice (paid it w/o coming back). She filled in my child’s room when another teacher left. I saw kids crying (including my own) who never cried before. My motherly instincts knew she was the problem ( my son would hide behind me when she saw her). I immediately took him out. Sadly, the director passed - hopefully the new director will clean it up. Edit: I reported Keshia, Debby and other teachers for child abuse (bc kids can’t speak up for themselves) & Laura didn’t do anything. There are 2 more of my sons old classmates joining his current school in Jan. I really hope for the children who are still there that they replace the bad teachers."

"I love how much the teachers teach the kids. They provide daily updates on all the things the kids learned that day. My kids love going to school. They have never liked it before. I can check in with them with the app and cameras. The staff are so kind and willing to help. I am so so happy I came to this program!"

"It has been the only place where my daughter has been mistreated. I DO NOT recommend it at all. The facilities are like their name Amazing but some of the staff are not. I watched as teacher KEISHA pulled and shook my 2-year-old daughter while she yelled at her. I informed the director Laura Davis several times about what happened but she did nothing about it and I preferred to withdraw her immediately. That teacher Keisha seems very kind when the parents arrive but the reality is that she is not a suitable person to work with children at all. My daughter was terrified with her. Now she is in a new school, very happy and calm."
