Skipwith Academy at Forest Avenue

The staff is top notch! From the Director (currently Michelle) down to the house keeping staff, everyone moves with purpose and pride to support the children in all aspects. The facility is also very unique and the historic home of Admiral Skipwith, hence the name and logo. Its fun to go to school at a castle as my children call it!

Ive had a great experience working at Skipwith at Forest! The staff are all welcoming and Ive made fast friends. The management is some of the best I have ever experienced in a teaching setting, very supportive. I absolutely love working here!

Ive always wondered what year the old place was built....same as the old house that used to be a part of the manor on Harlow? (ca.1920)....

We have been very pleased with the level of care and education our children are receiving at Skipwith Academy. We currently have a 3 year old and a 5 year old - the younger is in the all day program while the older gets picked up from tuckahoe elementary and bused to Skipwith for the afternoon (a nice perk offered by Skipwith). Skipwith offers a great value for the services provided. When we lived near Innsbrook, we paid another daycare facility slightly higher weekly rates. Prior to enrolling the kids at Skipwith, we also utilized an at home nanny for over 12 months but paid more & received less hours of care. Skipwith Academy has great hours (sometimes I drop my son off before 7AM and don't pick up the kids until after 6PM). We also have the opportunity to opt the kids into additional on-site enrichment programs (sports & dance). The staff is great & the location is convenient for those in the "near west end". I also believe the kids follow a good curriculum and are fed well. The staff seem to genuinely care for the kids. I confidently recommend this facility.
