After attending other preschools, My 1 year old son now attends this preschool. I love the staff here. The staff show that they really care about the kids. My sons teachers and Director are always giving me progress updates via email and daily reports. They have taught my son to walk and are teaching him colors and numbers. Best preschool in Lee County.

Wellington Academy in Palm Bay Florida is awesome. As soon as I walked in the door the first time I knew this daycare was different. Its really clean, orderly, and great teachers and staff. I fully trust that my kids are cared for and loved every day. My kids are doing great here, learning a lot and having fun. Often times dont want to leave when I come pick them up!

Wonderful childcare! We have been going there over a year. They truly care about the children and the whole family. I know my daughter is in good hands there. They do parents night out 1 Friday per month. It is great it is until 11 oclock and it is a perfect date night. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Wellington Academy has greatly benefited my two year old grandson as he has been enrolled for about a year. The staff and teachers have shown great love and given him special attention since he enrolled. The school is very clean, efficient and focused in their care for young people. They provide a great opportunity for learning and socializing

My son has been at Wellington for a full year now. Out of the 7 day cares in Fort Myers that I visited, Wellington stood above and beyond as my top choice. The school is bright and clean, the rooms are big and have plenty of age-appropriate things to play on. The staff, everyone from the front desk ladies to the kitchen staff, to the classroom teachers (of other classes) all take the time to get to know your childs name and always great you in a friendly manner. In my experience the classroom teachers do their best to keep you informed on anything you need to know about your child/the classroom, and they really do seem to care. My son loves going to school here, and I like knowing that hes in a safe, clean environment where he is having fun AND learning. I would highly recommend it!

My daughter has been at Wellington for 1.5 years. Bottom line is SHE LOVES IT! There are many days I pick her up and she actually wants to stay at school longer. This speaks volumes to me. I feel confident when I drop her off that she is in a safe and loving environment. In addition, she consistently comes home and shocks me with her knowledge. She is clearly learning while enjoying herself. I highly recommend this school.

My daughter has been at Wellington since she was 5 months old. Each time I get worried or sad that she’ll be moving onto the next room and away from her favorite teacher(s), she surprises me by developing new favorites. And every week I see a noticeable change in her exploding vocabulary and motor skills – I’m constantly impressed with how much they are already teaching her at 2.5 years old. The teachers here are amazing, caring, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. And I find comfort in the cozy quaintness that Wellington has to offer.

We have been a part of the South Wellington family since 2009 when my oldest son began the newly opened infant room. We have been really pleased in his growth throughout his years at South Wellington. South Wellington helped my son learn the fundamentals needed for kindergarten and he was actually ahead of the curve. I am thankful everyday for South Wellington knowing that my boys are in good caring hands. My youngest son now attends South Wellington and is currently in the 2 year old room. He has also been there since the infant room. I feel my children are in a safe, caring, and loving place. My boys love going to Wellington and the staff welcomes my boy everyday. I feel the staff (Miss Linda and Miss Jill to name a couple) really love my boys and to me that is important to know they really care about them. I would recommend this daycare if you want to feel like you are part of a caring family.

My son calls it the Apple School and he loves to go. We have had several issues to work on since starting daycare and Wellington has been supportive and has helped my son show progress in many skills. Very happy with Wellington!

Both of my daughters now 5 and 3 have attended Wellington Academy since they were infants. The staff and teachers are friendly and amazing. My daughters are constantly learning and will be way ahead of the other students when they attend kindergarten. Not to mention how much my daughters love Wellington as well. I would NEVER send my daughters anywhere else, I can not recommend them enough!

My Granddaughter goes to Wellington Academy, I have been there several times to pick her up and I have been very impressed with the staff and the security measures that they have at Wellington Academy. My Granddaughter learns so much while she is a daycare, she surprises us all the time with the new things they teach her at a young age. Would recommend Wellington Academy to anyone looking for the best daycare.

Wellington Academy in Palm Bay has been a part of our lives since 2009. My son started in the 1 year old classroom and graduated VPK. My daughter now attends. Because my son had attended for so long, it was not difficult for me to place my daughter, at 5 months, with the infants. Wellington is more than a daycare to my husband and I and we would highly recommend it.

I love Wellington!!!! After switching my daughter from another daycare, Ive been blown away with Wellington Academy. The staff is amazing. They treat my daughter as if she is one of their own. She has learned so much in the past year, Im truly thankful. I also appreciate the extra security measures that are taken to ensure my daughters safety. Hands down the best daycare in town!

I am a two time parent with Wellington and couldnt be happier! From the minute you walk in the door, you feel welcome and at ease that your child is receiving the best care possible. They provide a strong foundation that really, truly prepares your child for Kindergarten. I cant say enough nice things about Wellington!

This is a great place. No smoke and mirrors like those Chain preschools. Real people doing their best to keep your child moving forward in a safe, educational, and caring environment. You will find genuine work ethic here.

Both my sons are so happy with going to school. They both cant wait to paly with their new found friends. At the same time Ive noticed how they have grown developmentally in their conceptual understanding, and on a social expressive aspect. I am so happy with my choice on schools for them.

I have had a wonderful experience at Wellington Academy in Fort Myers! My son started there in the infant room and has now moved up to the 1 year room. They have treated us both like family. The people there are amazing and have all taken the time to get to know my child.

I love Wellington, both of my kids go there. Ages 2 and 3, the amount of information they have learned in just the 6 months theyve been there is amazing! They will be there until they go to Kindergarten! Such a great learning environment for them and the teachers and staff are so nice. Definitely recommend!

We send our children to the Palm Bay school and absolutely love it.We transferred in from another school when our youngest was 1. Since then we have had a son who is now 2 and has attended since he was 6 weeks old. We love the teachers and staff and feel our children are receiving a great education, love, and care. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this school to anyone!

Lets start by saying that I wish I was a toddler again and attending Wellington Academy, and my wife absolutely feels the same.We started our son at Wellington Academy in North Cape Coral when he turned 1, and its coming to the end as he is now 5, what a journey. Watching you child grow and evolve into this lively, creative and well rounded individual, under the expert guidance of teachers that care. I can check in, get any question or concern addressed and see that all the other kids relate very well with each other. They are all best friends.Even the parents, from all backgrounds and cultures, yet so very much interested in all the kids development, and participating in all the events.Completely changed my perception of a Day Care forever......5 STAR Caring with 5 STAR results.I am very proud to say that my son attended Wellington Academy, and wish the staff continued success as they help mold our future generation.

I have 2 children, one went to Wellington over 12 years ago, and one attends now. There are a few teachers still there from when my first daughter went! They are a wonderful facility that is so much more than a daycare. They have taught my daughters so much, and are very clean and professional. I would highly recommend Wellington Academy to everyone I know.

My son started at Wellington at 10 weeks old and he loves it. I highly recommend this school to anymore for their small classes, caring teachers, flexibility and things that they learn. Wellington is a family that cares. I see so much progress in him with both his social and academic skills. We can and do talk to the teachers everyday. In addition, they have a monthly Parents Night Out party for the kids. Its a PJ party that he loves.

My youngest got bit in the face and they didnt call me to tell me. After sitting in the directors office and being reassured they will call me next time, he got bit in the face again and no phone call again. Also I picked up my oldest after work and i had them check his temperature because he looked like he wasnt feeling well and sure enough he was running a102.6 fever and they never called me nor recognized his almost comatose behavior meant he might be ill. I am totally through with them!

I had went to so many schools before and walked out disappointed in every way. I finally decided I was going to walk into Wellington Academy. I was greeted immediately by a friendly face. She went over hours and tuition. It was completely affordable. Next was the walk through. Lets say this time I walked out crying the happiest tears I could. My daughter started in Jan 2015 and we have been happy since. The teachers are just wonderful. I am amazed every day that all of the teachers know my daughter and she knows them. If you have a concern, you can talk to Sherry the director and she does all she can to help. I am sad that this will be the last year there. You truly start to feel like family and become so close to the teachers. You can not go wrong by choosing Wellington Academy in Fort Myers!!!!

Our son started out South Cape back in May and weve had a very positive experience, its amazing what he has learned in such a short time! We are so pleased with the teachers he has had. He has a tough time with transition and theyve been so good to him and helped him adapt. Its so much fun hearing him tell us about his day every night and all the things he learned in class! Would surely recommend them!

I would highly recommend Wellington Academy in Fort Myers. My Granddaughter loves it there! Ive picked her up quite a few times and the staff is always so nice. Her teachers are amazing and im overwhelmed by how much she has learned at almost the age of 2. She came home the other day and said boom boom and pointed to my heart. It defiantly melts my heart to know she is in such great hands :)

I wish I could give this place 0 stars! The director/ lady that I spoke to from their corporate office seemed very genuine, However that doesn’t take away from the fact that the two adults who are considered to be teachers neglected my 2 year old son.

Not everyone should work in childcare. Some adults are simply EVIL. Do yourself a favor take your child/children else where.

Review №34

Finding Wellington Acdemy was such a blessing for my little family! My son was coming from another daycare in fort Myers that I felt was not giving him the proper attention and care. He used to HATE going to school. It was devastating as a mom to see my child so unhappy. I found Wellington and immediately fell in love and so did my son! It took less than a week for him to show a complete change in his personality. He woke up so excited and happy to go learn. He loved his teachers so so much, as did I! My 4 month old also started going to Wellington, it took a bit to get comfortable but once he was, there was no place he’d rather be. The infants room is filled with so so much love. The teachers are so caring and invested in the kids.We unfortunately had to move and I’ve been unable to find another daycare that even closely gives me the same feeling Wellington did. I truly believe I will never come across another daycare so great. More than just the teachers and staff; it’s very sanitary, the classrooms are decorated and fun, they use LifeCubby to connect with parents throughout the day, security is great. I could go on and on about Wellington and the incredible impact it had on my kids, especially the older one.If you have the opportunity to enroll your child(ren) here do not let it pass by! It’s EVERYTHING a parent would want in a daycare/school.

This place is awful! The teachers couldnt care less about the children and regularly leave them unattended. I see kids crying, off in a corner by themselves with no teacher intervention almost every time I go there. My son made a few small marks on one of their filthy walls with a crayon one day, while they were supposed to be watching him. They wanted me pay to have their whole wall repainted (of course I did not). Every interaction Ive had with a member of their staff has been a negative one. Glad I got my son out of there. Do yourself a favor and take your kids elsewhere.

Review №37

Today was my child’s second day. He has been potty trained since 16 months old. When I arrived to pick him up I noticed he was left to sit in a corner by himself, while the two teachers in the class sat in a circle with all the other two year olds. My child was soaking in urine rolling around & licking the floor. When I asked the teacher “why is he like that”?she had a smirk on her face saying “we don’t go near him because he bite a kid “Its ridiculous & very disheartening that people with no compassion would be allowed to work with babies. Bitting is not a good thing, however it is an age appropriate thing for toddlers. Put him in time out fine ! Don’t neglect to take care of the child! I expected more from this child care facility... One thing I will NEVER FORGET IS THOSE TWO TEACHERS FACE..

Review №39

I was refered to wellington by several friends. Being a first time mom, i needed all the information regarding daycares i could consume. i visited Wellington in 2013. i met with the staff and even got to shadow the infant room for a few hours to see it was ran. My daughter was then signed up at wellington at the mere age of 3 mos. I was on an emotional rollercoaster with being a working mom and having to put my daughter in daycare at 3 mos. Wellington assured me i could visit and call as much as i wanted through out the day and if there was anything i needed they would be more than happy to assist me. I felt a sense of ease and warmth that the staff truley cared about me and my insanity ( lol) and the care of my daughter.I could go on and on but the short of the long of it all....my daughter, now 3, cant wait to go to Wellington. She has learned so much and made great friends , and i have made great friends as well with many moms and teachers. They are my family. I reccomend wellington to all my new mom friends. I am forever thankful for the relationships i have built there, the ongoing learning that my daughter surprises me with on a daily basis. and the passion the teachers and staff have for all the children.There is never a day i worry about my daughters wellbeing and not once has she nor i cried during drop off ( lol)Wellington is a big part of my life - thank you ladies for ALL you do!!~ Toni Parks
