Meridiana’s ongoing commitment to offering top-quality education experiences for all ages took another step forward with the groundbreaking of the onsite Future Explorers Academy which will offer innovative curriculum for pre-school, kinder readiness and before and after school programs.
Located in the heart of the community at Iowa Colony Boulevard and Iowa School Road, Houston’s first Future Explorers Academy will open in early 2023 for children ages six weeks to 12 years. The academy is open to both residents and non-residents.
Founded by Meridiana resident Margaret Madariaga and longtime early childhood director Sarah Mashuga-Day, the Future Explorers Academy will present a comprehensive, research-based curriculum which features exploration and discovery as a way of learning, enabling children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical-thinking skills.
The curriculum also has support, built into every experience, for English-language learners and those with special needs.
Full-time students will receive a healthy breakfast, lunch, and up to three snacks daily. Breakfast and snacks will be provided for before/after-school Explorers. The state-licensed facility also will offer before and after-school pick up from Meridiana Elementary and Bel Nafegar Sanchez Elementary.
Further details on the new academy, its founders and curriculum can be found at www.futureexplorersacademy.com.
