The school is clean and nicely decorated with age appropriate materials; they have 2 playgrounds. The kids are always doing art projects, working on their tracing, letters etc. The teachers are all so very nice and easy to approach. My daughter is learning to play with others, sing songs, develop language. She's even become a better eater since starting here. My son will be well prepared for Kindergarten next year. I can't speak for the infant program, but I would highly recommend the toddler through VPK programs at Apollo if you are in need of school, not just a babysitter!

Wellington Academy or as my husband calls it "Sickington Academy" preys on the moms and dads of…read moreHarris corporation right across the street. 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

If you have a child with Autism or ADHD don't take them to their facility! I sure wish that there was a no star option because this place doesn't even deserve one star.

I provided them his IEP two weeks ago and they never took the time to read it until there was some complications yesterday. They kicked my 6 year old son out of their facility after 2 days stating that they don't have enough staff to provide low student-to-teacher ratio.
