Skipwith Academy has been a leader in the early childhood education field for more than 20 years. Skipwith Academy Learning Center at Rutland is located in a very emergent part of Mechanicsville, Virginia near the intersections of Route 301 and Interstate 295. We are proud to be NAEYC Accredited! Our idyllic country setting, spacious bright rooms, large age appropriate playgrounds and state of the art equipment is truly a home away from home. We strive to provide a warm and nurturing environment in which the child’s individuality is recognized and supported by a loving and caring staff. The teachers and managers are devoted to giving the children opportunities for physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. We look forward to having you as a part of our Skipwith Academy family.
Skipwith Academy is committed to supporting families and children in the communities we serve. We provide a variety of options for learning, not only based on the age of the child, but also his or her prior learning, maturity, and developmental stage. Our curriculum is based on a learning plan for meeting the emotional, physical, social, and cognitive needs of children using developmentally appropriate practices in a supportive environment.
