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.

I met both of the owners within the first week of him starting. They own two centers one on stack Boulevard and one on NASA Boulevard. I chose the one on NASA Boulevard because it's closer to my job. I absolutely love the school. The curriculum is awesome. It's always clean. But more importantly you can tell that the owners and the staff truly care about what they do on a daily basis. They're always there, They always look neat, they know everyone by name! And I do mean everyone. Ohhh and they're culturally inclusive! Which is a rare find in Palm Bay !!! If you want your child to actually want to go to school , to actually love their school, send them here !

They also let me come and interact with my son while he was still in the infant room during my lunch hour from work. He had plenty of room to crawl around and the ladies there was always very nice to me. 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!

1/5 Stars - Highly Disappointing Experience…read more My experience with Vera Children's Academy was deeply disappointing for both me and my child. For anyone considering this facility, please know that despite the name, it is a regular daycare disguised as a learning academy but in reality there is no learning going on just a regular unprofessional daycare The financial burden here is outrageous, especially given the poor quality of care. A recurring issue we faced was their illness policy and unfair billing. I would send my daughter to daycare on a Wednesday, she would catch something from another child, and by Thursday, they would call me to come pick her up because she was sick. She would then have to miss the following day. Despite not being allowed to leave my child there, they still charged me full price for her attendance. This happened on multiple occasions, to the point where I was paying for far more days than my daughter was actually able to attend. Even more concerning than the cost was the lack of supervision and safety. There was an incident where my child came home with claw marks all over her arms. When I brought this to the teacher's attention, nobody on staff was aware of her injuries, nor had anyone called to let us know something had happened. A week later, she came home with the exact same injuries to her arms. It wasn't until I made a major issue out of it that I was finally able to request to speak to the director, who promised an investigation. Having two separate instances where my child came home injured without a single phone call or incident report made is completely unacceptable. I was finally so fed up with the lack of communication, safety, and fairness that I unenrolled my kid. I would not recommend Vera Children's Academy to any parent looking for a safe and reliable environment for their child.
