Skipwith Academy at Lauderdale Square is a warm and welcoming school with a caring and attentive team. The environment feels safe, organized, and very child-focused, and you can tell the children feel comfortable and happy here. As an event and entertainment company, Let’s Party would be happy to collaborate in the future and bring fun activities to their wonderful students.

Our family had two children thrive at Skipwith Academy at Lauderdale for seven years (2018-2025), and we only left because we moved. The leadership team, Afton and Sharonda, are fantastic and actively involved. The teachers are caring and dedicated, with many having been there for over seven years—a true testament to the school's positive culture. Both of our sons were fortunate to be taught and nurtured by Mrs. Linda, Mrs. Dolores, Ms. Jasmine, Ms. Chelbany, Ms. Donna, Ms. Mildred T, and Ms. Mildred S. We also have to give a special mention to the amazing school cook, Mrs. Jaunice! We wholeheartedly recommend Skipwith Academy at Lauderdale Square.

My son has been attending Skipwith since Feb 2017 and we love it. He loves learning, meeting new friends, and playing with his friends and teachers!! He was 2 years and a few months when we started and automatically he was potty trained. I haven't had to buy diapers or pull ups since. They were consistent and encouraging, which is what he needed!! They have tought him so much in the last 6 months. His vocabulary, fine motor skills, ability to play with others, etc. impressed our pediatrician at his last check up!! Thank you Skipwith Academy at Wellesley for all you have done for us and especially our baby boy!!!! I would recommend this location to all my friends and family!!!
