Wellington Academy

My husband and I first visited a different daycare facility when looking for a daycare but didn’t know what to look for. I decided to do a comparison evaluation with another daycare which ended up being Wellington Academy and oh my goodness what a difference! When I walked into the nursery it was clean and calm. The women who care for my son are amazing! They all have children and really care about the little ones. I felt really confident sending my son to Wellington when I couldn’t stay at home with him any longer. Wellington also has a fingerprint scan in order to unlock the door and walk back to where the children are so if no one is up front for a moment, random people can’t just walk into the back. Makes me feel like my baby is secure and safe!

Great teachers, great school and the best enviroment A++. Teachers are awesome, they like what they do. Great curriculum. My son has learned so much, he has been attending Wellington Academy for over two years. He always comes home very happy. Home away from Home. Administration is awesome always there to listen and are very friendly and understanding. Best daycare around. If your child is not here, they are missing out.

Wellington Academy or as my husband calls it «Sickington Academy» preys on the moms and dads of Harris 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
