I feel so comfortable leaving my 6 month old with them and he’s loves them too! When he see them he gets so excited. He’s always very clean and happy when he’s with them. I’m so glad that I can go to work knowing he’s so well taken care of! THANKS SO MUCH MRS. EDITH AND MRS. ALEX !!!! ----- Author: brianna banks Rating: 1/5 Date: 3/15/2024, 1:21:08 AM Review: If i could give 0 stars i would, in the beginning it was nice but something seemed off. My 2 year old only had been going there going on 2 months, she wasn’t comfortable yet: The older director is pure nasty, she acted as if she was a doctor, tried playing with my intelligence & trying to diagnosis my daughter with something HER DOCTOR WITH A DEGREE TOLD ME SHE DO NOT HAVE! So she then proceeds to throw her hands up & tells me “We are not a babysitter, go get outside help”. If i could’ve did you know what i would’ve!! Schools are supposed to help not TRY to discriminate or be nasty towards a parent nor my child. All she did in the meeting was degrade my child, she’s so disgusting & i will never recommend this facility. They have 26 2year olds in a class with 2 teachers & half the time, it’s only 1 teacher. Kids are ALWAYS crying (she tried to make it seem Like it was only my child) but everytime i went there was kids crying!!! Even the teachers looked overwhelmed. I can say the infant teachers cared a lot about my infant and also kept me with updates/ pictures daily, THANK YOU TO THEM! DO NOT RECOMMEND! 450 a week for 2 kids is not even worth it. ----- Author: Courtney Deschene Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/15/2023, 8:38:14 AM Review: All three of my babies attend this daycare ages 5, 2, and 4 months. We have been to three other daycares and I have to admit this facility is hands down the best we have attended! Notifications are always posted timely, I get photos regularly, the in house systems and apps are modern & easy to use, the classrooms/entire center is always very clean/well kept & smells good and most importantly my children are all very comfortable being there. This has been a HUGE deal for my 2 year old. In the past he would cry every day I dropped him off (even after months of attending the same facility) now he barely even bats an eye and is genuinely happy to be there. My five year old has loads of fun and does plenty of activities in the summer camp program and my infant is always well taken care of and in good spirits. I am always confident that they are all attended to and cared for completely .The facility also has very fair and affordable prices and the staff are all always very communicative answering quickly and readily available. I have been nothing but impressed the past two months. We look forward to continuing care here until all are in grade school.

Wish upon a star is the one daycare that I can honestly trust. I drop my babies off every morning at ease. The staff is amazing and I can honestly say FAMILY. my kids have been going there for almost 4 years now and I can’t imagine them being anywhere else. Not only is it a child care center, they teach too. My kids have learned so much since they have been there. A huge thank you to everyone there cause they play a huge part in my day to day. But to be specific I want to give an extra thanks to Mrs.Dima, Ms.Yasmean, Ms.Karima, Ms.Taylor, Ms.Eve, Ms.Leysha and Ms.Stephanie. You guys are my babies home away from home
Nice clean place , excellent service, good people very helpful,
Wish Upon a Star is truly the best daycare in Palm Bay. My daughter has been attending since she was just two years old, and I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care she receives. The staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure that both my daughter and I feel comfortable and secure. I was particularly impressed when she lost her necklace; the team dedicated days to searching for it without a moment's hesitation. Every day, she comes home excited, sharing stories about the wonderful experiences she had. They treat us like family, and we couldn't love them more. Thank you, Wish Upon a Star, for everything you do!
If you're looking for a childcare center in Palm Bay, Wish Upon A Star is definitely worth checking out! This daycare has everything a child could ask for. Plus, they’re super laid back when it comes to tours! No hesitation with showing you around! My twins have attended the daycare for about 8 months and I could not name a better place for them! Not only is the center all about making learning fun, and encouraging kids to explore and solve problems on their own, the staff is extremely friendly ! With consistent updates on my children and great communication when they have any questions or concerns , this is the place for your child to be! If you want a place for your child to grow, be safe, and have amazing support system,definitely check them out!
This daycare has been sooo amazing! The staff is so caring and attentive, and they really took the time to make sure my child feels safe and comfortable. The place is always clean, and they have a great mix of fun and educational activities for my son !!! I also really love how they keep me updated throughout the day—it gives me peace of mind knowing my child is in good hands. Highly recommend!
A mis nietos les encanta ir al daycare desde que empezaron aquí. Las maestras son muy buenas y les importan el bienestar de los niños. Los recomiendo!
The director's behavior was disappointing, and it was clear that their credentials did not equate to effective leadership or competence. It was frustrating to witness such a lack of professionalism in a setting that should have been more focused and organized. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone seeking a high-quality, respectful learning environment.
***I had to repost this because my original review was flagged by Google. Please see my Yelp page for pictures*** I don’t typically write reviews, but after my child was injured with visible signs of bleeding and the response I received from this faculty, I felt it was important to share my experience. Despite the clear signs of harm, the director showed a complete disregard for my concerns. The photos I’ve attached speak for themselves and raise serious doubts about whether this facility truly prioritizes the safety and well-being of the children in their care. As a parent, it’s shocking to see such a lack of professionalism and care.
Finding a daycare that truly feels like a second home for your child can be a challenge, but Wish Upon A Star exceeds all expectations. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are welcomed with warmth, kindness, and a genuine sense of care. The staff members are not only highly trained professionals but also deeply compassionate individuals who treat every child like their own.
We love WUAS so far! We get pictures/videos all day…The front has been super sweet and welcoming. We haven’t had any problems…Clean and always smells good! That was a big one for me
