School did NOTHING about the severe bullying I experienced, The class I was in had many of the office staffs kids in it...nobody came to my aid due to this I feel.

Left the school needing several years of therapy and went on a journey to sever myself from the Catholic faith from the trauma the bulling and neglect the school caused me. The ONLY kind staff who believed in me was the old art teacher. I am APPALLED at the way low income, disabled, and minority children were treated around me especially if they are of a different faith and just wanted private education.

Without fail, they do it and he has NEVER come home with a rash, unlike his previous providers. The owners are amazing. If they never have met a parent and even if you have a key card to enter the building, they still want to see your ID; which gives me additional sense of security. They have an option to rent a key card so each parent can buzz in. No key card? You have to ring the doorbell. Again, amazing sense of security for me and the kids LOVE to swipe the cards at the door! I also love the protective/privacy of their playground. 1. No weirdos can just pass by to observe the kids. 2. It's separated by appropriate age groups for what equipment they play on and 3. It's protected so the kids aren't always exposed to the sun =sunburn. The director is so awesome and patient, and very strict on the rules for EVERYONE. I haven't seen favoritism at all, which is something I like. She can't be talked into bending the rules for a pitty story from the parents. Lastly, the teachers are AHHHMAZING! They outwardly show how patient they are with these kids and are so patient with parents, too. You can see the love and genuine care they have for each child. I am so thankful that we found this daycare and look forward for several more years here! Thank you for allowing me to have ease of knowing my baby is taken care of while I work.

Parents, please read this before choosing this school…read more I debated writing this review, but after our experience--and the lack of any follow-up--I feel other parents should know. During the tour and orientation, the school was warm and welcoming. We were told about a "take a village" approach, that every child is different, and that teachers would adjust their style to meet each child's needs. As a first-time school parent, that sounded perfect. That was not our experience. On my son's first day, things were already confusing. He was placed in a classroom that wasn't actually his assigned room, and we were told his teacher wasn't available yet. I made it very clear that this was his first-ever school experience and that he had no idea what to expect. Less than two hours after drop-off, we received a call saying he had been pacing, humming, not following circle time, and had hit a teacher and attempted to scratch another child. I want to be clear: I do not excuse those behaviors. But I was shocked at how quickly my four-year-old--on his very first day of school--was judged as not being a good fit. We were also told he should be tested for autism based on those first couple of hours, which was incredibly upsetting. What made it even more difficult is that during orientation we were told the school would be patient, flexible, and supportive of children adjusting at their own pace. That was not reflected in our experience. He was given less than two hours to adjust to a completely new environment before conclusions were made about him. The hardest part was picking him up and seeing that he was actually happy--playing, engaged, and not wanting to leave. He cried the entire way home because he wanted to go back to school. After all of this, the school never followed up with us or checked in on him. I understand schools have to protect staff and other children, and I understand not every school is the right fit for every child. But there is a big difference between saying that and making a first-time student feel like he failed on day one. I'm sharing this so other parents--especially those sending their child to school for the first time--ask very specific questions about how adjustment periods are actually handled. For our family, this was not the right environment for our child, and I wish we had known that before his first day.

We initially enrolled our oldest in a school with over 30 years of community presence, but it was a terrible experience. We pulled her out and managed without daycare for a while. By 2022, we felt she needed socialization, so we toured four different daycares. The moment we walked into Coral Reef Academy, we knew this was the one. The past 2.5 years have been nothing short of amazing. Every teacher at Coral Reef Academy is dedicated to creating a loving, safe, and nurturing environment. The administration has been outstanding. Our kids have experienced developmental milestones, from dealing with friends biting and challenging potty training to learning kindness and sharing. The teachers and administration have supported us through it all. We've experienced care across almost all age groups, from 1's to 4's. The kids learn essential skills like eating in a cafeteria, sharing, resolving conflicts, understanding emotions, and just being kids, all under the watchful and trustworthy eye of the staff. Communication is excellent through an app, and secure access with a code allows parents to enter as needed. The playgrounds are safe and clean, with staff ensuring proper hydration and monitoring the weather for excessive heat and storms. They celebrate various events like fall festivals, Thanksgiving lunch, Grandparents Day, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Scholastic Book Fair, Dr. Seuss Week, and bring in companies like Soccer Shots and Dancing Little Stars for extracurricular activities. We are moving, and unfortunately, their locations are too far for our schedule. We are deeply saddened that our girls will not graduate VPK here or continue with after-school or summer care at Coral Reef Academy. We hope that whoever takes our spot will see how amazing these teachers are and how much they love your kids. Your money will be well spent at one of the best daycares around.

They also let me come and interact with my son while he was still in the infant room during my lunch hour from work.

I also switched over to the Gerber Soy formula they provided, so that was another less expense to add to the list. The only drawback (As with any daycare) was that he did get sick three times in one month (Roseola, severe bronchitis and 24 hour bug) and since he was only 6-7 months old that was a very rough time, but they were always willing to work with me. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Harris is Palm Bay's cash cow so Wellington has made its best effort to be a cream of the crop day care. Unfortunately - it's not. In all fairness I have yet to come across a day care that doesn't consistently provide such a germ-friendly atmosphere that even doctor's are able to buy their second vacation homes treating all the kids that come in day in and day out with fevers, rashes, and ear infections. My real problem with Wellington though is their deceitfulness. I love how they bait and switch the diapers you send in with your child. You send in Pampers, and maybe you'll get Kirkland, Hugggies, or Luvs back. This makes a difference especially since not all diapers are created equal. I was told my daughter's white leggings had a streak of "mud" on them because they were playing outside only to find out it was diarrhea. I guess they don't possess the sense of smell. What's more -- they didn't even have the decency to change her soiled pants. Thanks Wellington. My daughter went to Sickington exactly 12 times in 2010 (3 times a week for 4 weeks). She went to the pediatrician 4 times to treat ear infections. But wait..there's more! After four years of saying good riddance to them I get a call from a collection agency saying I owed them $135 dollars for a week of daycare. Sickington had all my information, forwarding address, and cell phone number when we moved back north. They had 1,460 days to call me and resolve this situation without having to escalate it to a collection agency. And they didn't. Maybe they were just busy switching diapers around to get their billing squared away. Pro: We're not there anymore Con: Horrible daycare
