Lo Weihe
A South Florida native, Lo is extremely excited to be Colorado’s newest resident and a Paddington Station Preschool teacher this year. Having graduated from Florida State University with a B.A. in Art History, Lo pursued her creative passions and interned in the fashion industry in New York City, eventually leading to a career with Nordstrom in their Visual Merchandising Department for years.
Education had always been in the back of Lo’s mind, but it wasn’t until a trip home to Fort Lauderdale to visit her mom’s kindergarten class that she knew it was time for a career shift. In 2018, Lo was hired as a Teaching Assistant and Facilitator at The Paideia School in Atlanta. Here she received great mentorship within their preschool program, furthering her desire to work in Early Childhood Education. Lo is thrilled and privileged to now share her love of learning at Paddington Station Preschool.
While Lo isn’t working, she normally loves to travel, especially to visit her four siblings and parents who live all over the country, experiment in the kitchen, read, see live music, and explore her new home of Denver!

One of my fondest memories growing up was sitting around the dining room table and listening to stories told by my parents and grandparents about their time in school, the people they met, and the educators who influenced them. I feel extremely fortunate to not only have been raised by teachers, but also by people who believe that education and the school experience is paramount. I couldn’t be more delighted now to dedicate my career to Early Childhood Education and to hopefully ignite this same enthusiasm for learning to my students at Paddington Station Preschool.
I teach because I want my students to know school is a place of joy, curiosity, and imagination. It is a safe space where students are free to think with a “skies the limit” mentality, to ask questions, and to explore what excites them. I want to expand upon their boundaries in and outside of the classroom, exercising their imaginations. Through this, students’ confidences are nurtured and connections are formed amongst peers. Lastly, I encourage students to learn about one another's points of view. I always welcome the opportunity to teach about cultures beyond our borders and the commonalities we all share, proving that inclusivity is vital.
