Reviews of Kingswood Academy (Kindergarten)

Kingswood is the best spot in Metro to enroll your child.

This school just kicked my 6 yr old son out because the principal has an issue with me. This woman has no empathy at all. Very cruel and mean. I would not recommend this place at all. She then called the police claiming we harassed her. Once the police saw the email thread between us they sided with us. She doesn't even know how cruel she is, pathetic.

Our son has been enrolled in the Montessori program at Kingswood Academy for over 4 years and we have been enamoured with the school since the moment we walked through the doors. The Kingswood staff is warm and welcoming, the facility is clean, bright and spacious and the school community is inclusive and friendly. Our son is eager to go to school each morning and we are pleased with the many successes that he is consistently achieving, personally and academically. When we enrolled our son at Kingswood, we were mostly unfamiliar with the Montessori method. The staff took the time to carefully orient our whole family and we quickly began to realize the benefits of a Montessori education. Kingswood students have the unique opportunity to learn in a child centred, orderly environment where they naturally develop self-discipline, confidence and independence. Our son and his classmates benefit immensely from this learning structure by being able to explore their own individualized, limitless learning path. We highly recommend Kingswood Academy to all families who are seeking preschool, daycare, Montessori school or after school care in the Moncton area.

Our daughter transferred to Kingswood Academy from AESD when she was in 2nd grade. She was not making much progress in public school and we felt that the smaller class sizes and individual attention would help her. We were correct. Since moving to Kingswood Academy, 2 years ago, she has become a confident and happy learner. She is improving in all areas. Her teacher is always available to meet and talk about her progress. She is always so excited to share what she has done and what she is working on.

This school is like one big family. The owners are amazing, warm, caring and considerate. The teachers we know are fantastic, and the elementary school is amazing. Diverse and open minded, you can't find a better private school in Moncton!

Since 2015 Kingswood has been a home way a from home for me! In 2017 I welcomed my baby girl and was thrilled to bring her back with me when she reached 15 months. My little Jemma has been thriving ever since. She loves to go to daycare each day and speaks incredibly highly of her two teachers Sandy and Cynthia, she also has to stop to give Ms. Debra her daily hug! Kingswood is a family.

We are so blessed that our daughter went to Kingswood Academy. She was welcomed there with open arms. She was very shy, had trouble communicating and was lacking independence. Her time at this beautiful school gave her confidence and she is no longer shy and has learned to speak English in a clear manner while speaking her French in a more detailed and elaborate vocabulary. The staff are all experience with open creativity to help the children develop their beautiful qualities at their pace. We are so so blessed and my daughter speaks highly of this school all the time and we do to. Thank you to all the staff form making us feel welcome.

Such a wonderful school! With a dedicated and caring group of educators and administrators, our son really flourished at Kingswood over the last two years. He has grown from being shy and reserved, to engaging and curious, due to the impact of the educators and their system of learning. If it wasn’t for an amazing job opportunity in Ottawa, I wouldn’t dream of having our son go anywhere else. In fact, Kingswood made the decision to move a very difficult one.

Life With 5

My experience with Kingswood Academy has been nothing short of wonderful! My children look forward to attending school every day. There are never any arguments or groans in the morning to go. The entire staff are warm and welcoming. The all know my family well and are extremely accommodating to my work requirements. The school remains open during most snow days as well, so I rarely worry about childcare. Communication is highly valued which is evident with weekly updates on class activities, teacher/parent discussions with positive and constructive feedback, and easy accessibility to teachers and management at all reasonable times. The teachers are more than accomodating to each individual child's learning and holistic needs. They are aware and provide different teaching styles to match the child's learning style. The children benefit from small teacher to student ratios in an interactive classroom setting. They enjoy hands-on learning and creativity. They have endless opportunities learning from multiple resources and participate in monthly library visits, computer coding, french as a second language, trips, exploring science, music, art, special events and so much more. I am confident my children will reach their full potential at Kingswood Academy! Elementry and Middle school years are vital to instilling a strong foundation of great work ethic, independent learning, time management, excellent literacy and math skills, etc and will set the stage of success for further education and life. The teachers and staff at Kingswood Academy are extremely invested in the success of children. They offer a higher level of education and are overjoyed to be involved in the development of our youth. My family and I are incredibly grateful and proud of our school. As a parent, worry free education is priceless. Kingswood Academy is highly recommended by our family.

Kingswood is a wonderful extension of home for my son--each day he is cared for with compassion. His teachers are dedicated, professional and pride themselves on caring for the whole child. The importance of early learning is evident within this community and my gratitude runs deep for the safe environment provided each day at Kingswood.

I love working at Kingswood Academy! Since I started working here three years ago, I have been treated as family by the owners, Debra and Richard. My fellow administration team, staff members, and the families all make me feel valued and appreciated! There are also many opportunities for professional development and growth that have enriched my Early Childhood career. The level of professionalism and care can clearly be seen in the program and in the centre. "Joy, feeling one's own value, being appreciated and loved by others, feeling useful and capable of production are all factors of enormous value for the human soul." - Maria Montessori

The educators were wonderful, but administration wise it wasn't the greatest. After paying a very expensive deposit we were told a week later that the program changed and my son no longer had a spot because he wasn't old enough. My son had been attending the centre for a year and we were not offered any form of alternative care. On top of that we had to request our deposit back as the only option that was provided was to put him on a list for care almost an entire year later. Truly an unfortunate situation

My children have loved and enjoyed every minute of their education from casa/kindergarten into the elementary years. Thank you :)

We are extremely grateful for the passion, diligent care and professionalism that the staff at Kingswood Academy has consistently provided for our twin toddlers. Principal Betsch’s dedication and commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the school from clean /organized classrooms, security measures, exceptional staff morale and high standards of meeting guideline and regulations. The school gives our children an environment that makes them feel safe, happy, cared for and engaged. When our children are at Kingswood we feel at ease and secure in knowing our children are receiving the best care. Most importantly, in our experience the school is committed to keeping open communication with parents, which has been a significant factor for us to committing to continue to send our children long term. Thank you Kingswood for being an outstanding school for our twins to attend. We wish you further success and recognition for the amazing work you do in providing a much-needed service to our community. Sukhi & Luca Alberga

We have truly found the extended family for our three children in the montessori program at Kingswood. The care warmth and education they provide our kids is phenomenal.

Kingswood Academy had been the building blocks of helping our children achieve their developmental goals. We couldn't be happier with the educators and administration.

Kingswood Academy is a great education center! My son looks forward to going there every morning and we can go to work knowing that he is in a safe place where he is able to learn and have fun at the same time. The teachers are qualified, dedicated and loving, they take time to share the daily experiences at the end of the day, this is something you don't find everywhere. Thank you for everything Kingswood family, see you Monday :-)
