What Parents are Saying About Skipwith Academy

It is with great pleasure that I am writing this letter to commend the teachers of Skipwith Academy at Hanover for their enthusiastic and compassionate demeanor regarding children and the educational process. Each day you can expect to be greeted and welcomed into a loving and caring environment with a smile. The Director has initiated community outreach projects each month which instill values in our children which will benefit them for the rest of their lives. The programs, activities and themes that are planned each month, teach my child to share, learn and expand cultural/educational awareness. I can't express how much joy we get in class parties, festivals and performances. Management always implements and addresses any ideas or concerns in a timely fashion. All staff should be commended for their hard work and commitment. It is hard to make the decision to leave your child each day but this is made so much easier knowing that he is given love, compassion and cared for in a safe environment..

I just wanted to say how much my family has loved Skipwith Academy. 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 Skipwith as my other children are. Thank you for all you do!!.
