We began our search with Coral Reef Academy, and after visiting several other places it was no comparison. They have held up there end of the bargain, following through on what was promised, and the staff have been great to deal with. Everyone has concerns leaving their children with new people, but they made the transition easy and comfortable. The price was slightly higher than the other places we attended, but childcare wasnt where I wanted to save money. Very happy six months in and I am confident we made the best decision for our daughter.

Coral Reef was the best thing we could do for our son. He was at another facility, and we just felt it wasnt a good fit for our family. From the first day at Coral Reef, all the staff has been so welcoming and kind. As a first time parent, I can rest easy knowing he will be well taken care of at a safe and clean facility.

This place is amazing! My kids have been going for almost 2 years and one even did VPK there. Their staff is the best, friendly and even have their own kids attending. It kinda becomes a big happy community with everyone. Great activities throughout the year with the kids and great lessons taught.

Coral Reef Academy has been the daycare for my daughter since she was 6 months old. The teaching staff has changed a lot since we started over 2 years ago, but the experience has remained the same. My daughter loves going to class every day and comes home with stories and new experiences. We have truly enjoyed our time with Coral Reef Academy and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a daycare option.

After having my babies home for 2 years I knew they needed more to cultivate their learning experience. I am glad I chose CR because my children have blossomed since they have been there. The staff is friendly and professional, the teachers are very caring and the communication is excellent. I would recommend this center to anyone.

I start by saying that my son is so hungry after daycare and shows in report that EAT ALL. Big lie, and diaper rarely changed, super dry. The front desk lady is super Rude not honest when asked her questions. I just feel that some teachers are not taking their job seriously.

I knew coral reef academy was the right school for my daughter the first time I stepped into the school. I had such a great tour through the classrooms, the place looked very clean and all the children seemed to be happy. I also love that I can see how my daughter is doing through out the day and get to see pictures of her in a app. I downloaded

Our daughter started in the infant room and after going to the next few rooms the teachers from the first room would still visit them in the afternoons to see how they were doing (they really care about the kids). The teachers were always helpful when trying to get them to the next stage: eating other types of food, potty training, etc. I can say that our daughter truly enjoys the school and loves her teachers!

I cannot thank enough for the staff here. We had a hic-cup with the admission, waited for a year, but its all worth it. My baby is two now and he likes to go to school. Only after a long break, he finds it hard to be back to classes. Other than that, hes happy to see his teachers and friends everyday. The facility is sparkly clean and always smells so good. Its amazing how they can keep it up with those many kids running around. My son gets sick less compared to the beginning and thats a very good sign! Thank to the school and super staff, we can be worried free and can be focused at work. Time that our family share after school hours is priceless!

I feel like coral reef academy is a great environment for children. They have a great staff and do a amazing job at keeping kids smiling and entertained while Im at work . I come home and my son learn something new every day and thats something that I can say I find the best about Coral Reef academy. My kids have started to become for curious in books and are starting to show a lot about themselves. So I give this academy 5 stars. Because they know what there doing

My daughter started at CRA on Nasa last November in the 2 year old room. The staff has been fantastic in accommodating her transition. Our experience has only improved as she has moved on to the older classrooms. I personally love that I can call or come in to speak to any of the staff at any time. They were incredibly helpful with potty training. The teachers are fantastic and our daughter is genuinely happy here. The facility is also incredibly clean. Since switching daycare facilities last year, our daughter has missed significantly less time due to illnesses.

Our 2 year old son started attending Coral Reef acadamy about a month ago. The staff is AMAZING! We love the reporting, on the app, the friendlines of the teachers, and employees. The school is clean, and a great environment for our son. He loves going to school, and we love where we send him!

The place is very clean, the staff very friendly and they love the children they take care off. I couldnt be happier having them take care of my daughter. She has learned so much and she is eager to go every morning.

Our daughters love Coral Reef Academy! They have learned so much and are always excited to go to school - theyre always so proud to bring home the work theyve done. I love receiving their daily reports and viewing the pictures taken during the day. As a parent, the CRA staff has made it easy to interface with the teachers and staff to address any issues or concerns. I highly recommend CRA.

I adopted my son Shawn in January and the transition was rough for him. At the age of 4, he was confused and unsure of everything. He lashed out at school and at home. Coral Reef was patient and worked with him- and me- to help make him feel wanted so he could begin to trust me and his teachers. Thank you for that.

My son has been going to the Nasa location for over a month now. He enjoys being dropped off every morning and all his little friends greeting him. He says he has a lot of fun and that his teachers are nice. We are very glad to have found this daycare center plus its a brand new building and always super clean! Thanks CRA!

We have been with Coral Reef on Nasa since the beginning!! Our oldest was part of the first VPK program which we feel is a strong program. He learned a lot, and has been exceeding in academics since! Our second son just started VPK this week and we are looking forward to watching him grow.From the 1yr old classes all the way to VPK, we have had several different teachers and we have been impressed by all. They have shown compassion and kindness to our boys and it is very comforting. I feel like my children are in good hands every day when we drop them off. Thank you!We look forward to another wonderful year at Coral Reef!!

I normally dont write reviews... rarely do I ever take the time. However, I make an exception here because my feeback does involve children and the environment for which their young minds develop and flourish. Our family recently relocated to the area. My son has been in a childcare environment since he was 6 months old (he just turned three). I searched the entire area for a child care provider that met my standards for quality of care, cleanliness, and academic curriculum structure. I was impressed by the appearance of Coral Reef and the friendly staff. The wow ends there.My son attended Coral Reef Academy on Nasa Blvd for three weeks (2 more weeks than he should have because I paid two weeks advance). Our enrollment initially ended because we did not want to apply for the reduce lunch meal program. Knowing our family does not qualify for this program, this facility requires every family to apply so they can receive federal funds for meals. Therefore, each family is required to basically provide the first page of our tax form 1040 (name, address, ssn, gross income etc…) with no real guarantee of protecting that information. I was told I could enter zeros for income, which I did but I still refused to sign the document because the language on the form clearly states falsifying the document could result in state/Federal penalties. At this point, it was agreed our enrollment would terminate.Additionally, in the first 3 days of my sons attendance, I was shocked to find a behavior report which required parent, teacher and director signatures. This continued for the next two weeks! Seems pretty serious for a toddler who didn’t want to share, come in from outside play or not want to clean up. Those, in my opinion, are clearly teachable moments; and we certainly reinforce at home but not what I would consider “behavior issues.” Finally, with our previous provider, a 15:1 ratio truly meant there was 1 teacher to 15 students in that room. Here in a class size of about 30 toddlers, adding another teacher can certainly give the appearance of complying with the student to teacher ratios but does not render orderly class function. I later realized the requirement of that form and my refusal to comply was a blessing. This facility was not a good fit for our family. Im happy that hes now attending another facility where the class sizes are smaller and for the first time since our move, hes happy, no tears when saying our good byes in the morning, and no behavior concerns.To the responder of my review: We were not asked to leave the program. If you take the time to respond to a negative review, please be truthful in your response. We were ASKED to sign the application for free or reduced meal so this facility could obtain federal funding for the food program. Knowing we didnt qualify, we chose not to provide a form that the facility requires every family to provide. Our choice not to provide was also our choice to end your childcare services. Not filling out the form I-009-12 document and your facility not being a good fit for our family was a blessing... We could never be unhappy about that.

I am not sure why this facility thanked me today for a review I wrote over a year ago. I no longer recommend this facility.
