Dear Families,
I am delighted to welcome you to the new school year and to introduce myself as the new Head of School at Paddington. I remember the first time I stepped through the doors at 1301 Quebec Street, a Denver Landmark, and I immediately knew I was in a special place where children and families were celebrated for their individuality. Our goal is to provide a welcoming and inclusive community for all students and families. Our school is a place filled with joy and wonder, a place where children are safe to explore and follow their interests, a place where we believe that the partnership between school and home is essential. We believe that childhood should be filled with play, and therefore we utilize a play-based approach.
If you are a prospective family who is looking for a preschool home for your child, I encourage you to visit our school and learn more.
At Paddington Station Preschool, we strive to:
Paddington Station Preschool teachers are innovative, dedicated and supportive. Our faculty strives to prepare individuals to joyfully explore the wonders of the world!
I encourage you to visit our school and see for yourself what makes this community so engaging and joyful.
Hayley Harang, M.Ed.
