Kingswood Academy

We have two kids at BrightNest and it’s been a great fit. The school is clean and feels safe, and the teachers truly know our kids; they greet them by name and notice the little things. We get quick daily updates, usually a photo, and meals and snacks are included which is a lifesaver on busy mornings. Our toddler is thriving with play and simple routines. Our older child is in the free VPK and is actually learning and getting ready for kindergarten. If you are in Delray Beach and want reliable, caring preschool and childcare, we recommend BrightNest.

Best preschool in Delray Beach! Staff is very friendly and warm. Their tuition includes free meals and they accept ELC. I feel they care about my kids and the facility always looks nice

I love this daycare, staff is great, friendly, & caring. My son loves to go here everyday, would highly recommend.

BUYER BEWARE: F- Facility Kingswood's newest facility gets an F- in our book. It's nice on the inside but the surrounding strip mall and neighborhood is run down. Our 2 year old son attended here for just 3 weeks till we learned the school was failing to meet their commitments. We were told they would begin potty training right away and our son would also get a full learning experience with the use of computers. It turned out he wasn't being potty trained and the computers didn't even work. Also, the outside is littered with empty beer bottles left by loiterers. Every morning the first thing we would see are beer bottles around the entrance. After a few weeks of this we voiced our concerns with the owner, Mr. Williams. He admitted to these issues and told us they would gladly refund our registration and supply fees of $200 if we wanted to leave. The next day we found a better daycare and informed Kingswood we were leaving. They had the director, Ms. Brown, call us to let us know they decided NOT to refund our fees. Not only was she rude but she hung-up the phone after we tried to explain our conversation with the owner. They broke their promises in so many ways. I feel bad for the children left there. How can they teach our children honestly, integrity and accountability when the owners don't believe in these same values? It's been 3 weeks since we left and our son is smarter than ever at his new daycare. He gets a full learning experience; he's learning to write his own name, knows the days of the week, and is learning the months of the year and he's nearly fully potty trained. To the other parents looking for a great place to teach your little ones we strongly suggest you save yourself the headache and search elsewhere. UPDATE -- IN RESPONSE TO THE OWNERS: It's even more unfortunate to have a small business repeatedly lie about their services - especially when children are involved - and then lie to the public when a concerned parent calls them out on it. I strongly suggest you focus your energy on improving your operations and ultimate experience at THIS location and less on my review. Let the beautiful inside decor of this location be an inspiration for how you should model your conduct as small business owners -- with both integrity and excellence. Despite your insolence, I wish you well.

It was my 2 yr old boy first experience at a day care and it is amazing for him being able to play and interact with other children every day. He only speaks spanish but he is catching up with english very fast. Staff and teachers are great also, I highly recommend this school.
