I have 2 kids there now, and I'm pregnant again- as soon as the new one is old enough, he will go here too. They take 12 months through VPK age kids. Their VPK program is the best I've seen, and my kids will continue on to Bethany main campus as I'm sure they are just as great. Main Campus is for kids K5-12th.

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 !

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!

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
