Honored to be named Best Preschool by ! This is a reflection of our incredible teachers, joyful learners and the strong community that makes Paddington so special! Thank you!!

We’re excited to share that we have a few openings for the 2026–2027 school year in our Creative Explorations program that meets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:45-10:15am.

Our youngest learners, who can now start at 16 months (as of August 31, 2026), can explore in our Caregiver-Tot Creative Explorations weekly class, through art, hands-on sensory experiences, storytelling, and imaginative play. Each class has time for open-ended play, circle time as a group, stories, songs and time on our outdoor classroom to get in those big body movements. Children will build confidence, celebrate curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning will begin to blossom.

An added bonus to joining this program? You become part of the Paddington community! This means opportunities for family education, participating in Fall Fest, attending park playdates, viewing our annual art show, service projects, and more! It’s a chance to meet friends and future classmates + you’ll be considered a current family during enrollment for the following school year.

If you’re looking for a warm, play-based environment where creativity leads the way, the first step is scheduling a tour using the link in our bio. We hope to meet you soon!

Yesterday, our teachers came together for a meaningful Professional Development Day filled with reflection, learning, and connection.

We began by sharing our individual journeys to Paddington and imagining where those journeys might lead, grounding our work in the experiences and passions that brought us to this community.

We were also grateful to learn from guest speaker, Natalie Bowman, Owner and Bilingual Speech Therapist from Brainstorm Therapy Services. In her work and during her time at Paddington she focused on speech and language development, a cornerstone of early learning in the preschool years. Early speech and language skills support children’s ability to communicate their needs, build relationships, engage in play, and develop early literacy skills. She highlighted how teachers’ daily exposure to children allows them to notice patterns, recognize differences in development, and intentionally support each child’s growing communication skills.

With many dual language learners in our school, we spent time exploring how intentional, language-rich environments support not only multilingual children, but all learners. By talking, listening, reading, singing, and wondering together, we strengthen vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence for every child.

We’re thankful for the time to grow together and for the opportunity to keep strengthening the joyful, inclusive learning environment your children experience every day.

Experience the magic ✨
