What Parents are Saying About Skipwith Academy

"I am thankful for all of the wonderful care that the staff at Skipwith at Woodlake provides to my son. He loves his teachers and his class! I appreciate the open door policy that allows me to visit throughout the day. The staff in the infant room teaches my son so many important lessons and always tells us all about his day. When we worried about his napping schedule, they took the time to talk with us and helped us brainstorm ways to make napping easier for him. We appreciate very much the love that Skipwith provides daily to our baby and we love being a part of the Skipwith Academy family!"

Julie

"I just wanted to say how much my family has loved Skipwith. I knew I could drop off my daughter and she would be cared for the way I would care for her. Her teacher, who has been there forever, used to call her sunshine and still does. Currently, my middle child is in the Montessori Program and I could not be happier. She has learned so much in this class. My youngest is in the infant room and the teacher is the same loving and caring person that she was when my daughter was in her class. I am looking forward to my son growing with Minnieland as my other children are. Thank you for all you do!!"

The Falwell Family

"My daughter has been going to Skipwith for 2.5 years. She loves it there. She loves the directors and the teachers. They treat her so well. The school is historic and beautiful. The rates are about the same all the other centers in the area and they provide breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. In the summer they have educational fun field trips and a private pool, as well as in house events! We love Skipwith!"

"My first visit was about 2 weeks ago, when I walked in the door unannounced to visit the center they treated me like I was already a part of their family. It was like they knew me and I knew them. The following week due to unforeseen circumstances at my child’s former daycare center, Skipwith Academy at Rutland welcome us with open arms. I did not have to try and fit in as the new family, but instead from the moment I came for my visit I became family. My mind is at ease and I have no worries that my son is being well taken care of as if he was home with me. I am updated frequently throughout the day of what my child is doing through the app they provide for the parents! Skipwith at Rutland is a great place and the staff is amazing."

Candace Smith Carey

"We have been members of the Skipwith family for over 3 years, having a child go from the Infant Program up to Prep, and two more in the Infant program today. We have been blessed with Teachers along the way that have cared for and loved on our children as if they were their own. We see this love in each Milestone they meet and exceed, the daily reports and feedback, and the bonds they make with their teachers. We have proudly recommended Skipwith for its program, teachers and staff over the years and continue to provide this support today! Thanks for loving our family and especially our kids!"
