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! Tammy, the Director will be happy to give you a tour.

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!

His vocabulary has exploded since enrolling here. The teachers also offer numerous helpful suggestions based on their extensive experience, for everything from treating stubborn diaper rashes and setting sleep schedules, to caring for ear infections and potty training. Everyone is very friendly and caring, and frequently ask about how things are going for both the kids and the parents outside of daycare. I can't recommend Wickham KinderCare enough! From the caring, knowledgeable staff to the clean, amazing facility to the numerous learning opportunities for the kids, it's a top-notch daycare center and a place that you can trust will treat your children like family.
