Amazing Explorers Academy Hutto fosters a nurturing environment where little minds open up to develop lifelong learning skills designed to inspire, connect and engage the great minds of the 21st century.
Greetings, Amazing Explorers family!! My name is Amy Esparza, your Hutto Director. I was born and raised in Austin and have spent most of my life here locally. My biggest accomplishments are my two grown sons, Isaac & Jacob. They are the reason I entered the Early Childhood Development and Education field in early 2000. My background includes opening and operating three private childcare facilities as well as 19 years in teaching, leadership, and Director roles for four private childcare facilities. I strive to continuously learn and grow, while coaching others toward a positive and optimistic lifestyle. I believe that all children deserve an equal opportunity for love, growth, encouragement, & development at their own pace and time. I am ecstatic and grateful to be given the opportunity to work for such an amazing organization. I appreciate the trust bestowed on me and my team and ensure you that your most precious children are in the best of hands. Each of them will truly be loved, guided, taught, encouraged, and cared for while under my Directorship.
As an educator, AEA has become my second home. It is a lovely place to work. The curriculum, the facility, the resources, and the administration are the best. They are always willing to help and support our Team. I feel so blessed to be able to inspire children and teach them with all my heart and a big smile
-Ana Gomez (Teacher Assistant)
