We strive to attract and retain exceptional early childhood teachers. Our classroom teachers are degreed and licensed in early childhood education. Among the teaching faculty members at Paddington Station Preschool, one has an Associate's degree, 17 have a Bachelor’s degree (BA, BS, or BFA) 21 hold a Master’s degree and we have three PhDs on staff. 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.
