This facility did everything they possibly could to make my daughter feel safe, comfortable, educated, and every morning she couldn't wait to get out of the car to run to her class room. I completely and utterly regret taking my daughter out of this school. I needed to work more and I needed longer hours and I made the mistake of thinking another place would care as much as they do. Especially Ms. Ilianna, I'm so grateful for your willingness to help Brantley. You have a beautiful soul whom I know cares about every single child there. You are always involved with the children, parents and teachers as much as you can. You've helped my daughter so much, she's doing so many things she couldn't do before she started here. And you have helped me to find resources for my daughter outside of the school. I highly recommend this school to anyone because I know that any child from any background or with any disability will be safe physically, mentally and be excited for school.

The school is clean and nicely decorated with age appropriate materials; they have 2 playgrounds.

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!

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.

My son attends school here! VPK and after school care is well. I have never been to another school…read morethat has been as thorough as this one. 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 !

My daughter started in the toddler classroom at Goddard school Viera in August when the school…read moreopened. I love how clean the school is and the app they use to keep parents informed of the child's day and the schedule. The playground is nice and the teachers were super sweet and loving towards my daughter. With that being said, I do have a huge issue with their biting policy. In a course of less than 5 weeks my child was bitten 4 times (2 times in 1 morning) . My child has never bitten a child and 3 of these bites were unprovoked and one she was reaching for another child's snack. According to their policy they are not able to tell me if the same child bit her . After the second bite, I had a conversation with the front desk staff about what steps are being taken to help address the situation. I was given the generic " it's part of that ages behavior " and the bitters parents are aware of the situation. There are " behavior action plans in place". No specific details given to me at this time. After the 3rd and 4th bite I learned more information about the action plan and that provoked or unprovoked biting didn't have any different consequences. There is not a certain number of bites that would unenroll a child, they will just work on adjusting the biters behavior. I find this highly unacceptable. They keep it so hush hush that I have no idea how many times the bitter has bitten other kids. It could be 10 times and they are still in the classroom. Now ask yourself if you, as a parent, feel comfortable dropping your kid off with a child that is known to have bitten multiple kids for no reason. In their policy it says they will have a one on one person with the child to watch them and correct the behavior and this has not been done. I find the way that the administrators are handling this is unacceptable and negligent. I called corporate and was told that each school makes their own rules when it comes to biting. Goddard, you have much room for improvement to keep kids safe. Due to the unsafe environment I was forced to pull my child from school and find another daycare while the bitter or bitters stay in the school hurting other children. DO BETTER!
