Excellence in Education
Our Mission
Kingswood Programs is a Christian Preschool and Kindergarten program in Springfield, MO committed to excellence in education. We accomplish this by providing a diverse, well-balanced and developmentally-appropriate educational experience for each and every child.
We believe that your child’s ability to comprehend, create, discover, enjoy, reason, and worship are God’s gifts. Our goal is to provide children the opportunity to learn and grow in a loving environment where an emphasis is placed on each child’s physical, emotional, social, cognitive, language, and spiritual development.
Our Story

Countless youth and young adults look back with fond memories of their early learning experience and Christian values taught to them during their days at Kingswood.
