Paddington Station is a community in which children, families and teachers experience the world through exploration and discovery. The wonders of childhood are celebrated through play and an engaging experiential environment. 

Our philosophy is based on the theories of Frederick Froebel, John Dewey, and Jean Piaget, internationally renowned education philosophers.

Paddington's overall objective is to guide the development of the whole child socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically and creatively.

Our vision is to develop a love of learning in children, parents, and teachers. Our school has four main components:

• Parent/Tot classes with Parent Education component (Creative Explorations)
• Preschool classes for 2, 3 and 4-year-old children
• Kindergarten for 5-year-old children
• Teacher – Training program 

We are always pleased to hear our families call Paddington a "special" place. In addition to our educational philosophy, there are a variety of hallmarks that make Paddington Station an exceptional school.

• We have an excellent student/teacher ratio.
• We have exceptionally well-trained teachers, a majority of whom have master's degrees.
• We have an aggressive financial assistance program to extend opportunity to everyone.
• We understand the importance of parental involvement and are committed to a strong partnership between parents and staff.
• We are committed to parent education and offer a Parent Education Program that is popular throughout the community.
• We host many gatherings of staff, children and their families to build togetherness and community in the school.
