My name Lori Marano and I would like to introduce myself as your Director. I am originally from New York. I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from C. W. Post/Long Island University, New York. I was trained in Montessori, and earned a certification from the North American Montessori Center. I worked in a private Montessori school in Port Washington, New York, for seventeen years where I served as a teacher and administrator. I am looking forward to getting to know the wonderful families at Skipwith Academy at Woodlake!
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.
