We strive to attract and retain exceptional early childhood teachers. Our classroom teachers are degreed and licensed in early childhood education. At Paddington Station learning is viewed as a continuous on-going process for students, families and teachers. As such, we highly value professional development and our team members participate in numerous and varied continuing education opportunities each year.
