Parent Reviews
We have two kids at Skipwith and just love it! All the staff and teachers know our kids even if they’re not in their class - and I’ve seen both our kids thrive there in the last year we’ve been with the school. Highly recommend!
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!
Skipwith Woodlake has been a true blessing to my family. Lori and Faith have always been warm, welcoming and willing to help out in every way they can. I can't thank them enough! My kids have flourished and blossomed so much. Definite recommendation !
In our experience in almost 6 years now at Skipwith, we have been met with nothing but open arms. The care has been terrific for my daughter and the staff has always been warm and helpful throughout. From the toddler program to Montessori, Skipwith has helped prepare my daughter for her next steps when she entered Kindergarten. Now in the school age class they continue to help her grow and mature. I honestly can't thank the staff and the other families enough for making my daughters years with them such a great time and experience!
