At the Elyson location, children are immersed in a hands-on learning environment that prioritizes both exploration and personal development. From building block challenges to science experiments, play-based learning is more than just fun—it’s a tool for fostering cognitive growth, communication, and critical thinking. The center’s experienced educators act as guides, encouraging self-expression and offering individualized support that meets each child at their developmental stage.
What sets Amazing Explorers Academy apart is its forward-thinking embrace of technology in early education. At Elyson, children are introduced to foundational concepts in artificial intelligence—not as passive users, but as young innovators learning how AI can be used as a creative and analytical tool. While many preschools shy away from tech, Amazing Explorers aims to equip children with the skills they’ll need in a digital future, empowering them to understand and shape the world of tomorrow.
