Paddington‘s exceptional advanced academic curriculum, created from aspects of the British system, emphasizing reading, STEM and robots, is enhanced by our Fine Arts program, which includes classical music, orchestra, dance & movement, visual arts, foreign languages, and etiquette. Coupled with this, your child has the opportunity to perform in many musicals throughout the school year, from Mary Poppins to the Nutcracker, providing a superior, well-rounded education to maximize your child's potential, while boosting their self-esteem and confidence.
The child of today is the adult of tomorrow, so we consider every moment of time with them as a precious opportunity to nurture and shape their future. We are so much more than just a preschool or K-4 school!
Psychologists and educators have long recognized the impact of early experiences on a child's intellectual and emotional development. Now, through technological advances, neuroscientists are proving that a child's early engagement in classical music, singing, art and dance has even more significance than we previously believed. These experiences create unique brain connections that will have a long-term impact on that child's life and confidence level. We believe in developing both the academic and the artistic side of the child's brain and are committed to academic and artistic excellence.
Give your child the essential foundations for future success, and a love for learning that will last a lifetime!

Business Review
"We have had kids at Paddington since 2017, and they love it! Our oldest was very shy when she started there, but with the encouragement of one of their incredible teachers, she was totally out of her shell by the end of that first year. Then, were so impressed with their handling of the pandemic in 2020 (we experienced no "covid learning loss"), it was an easy decision to stay on for the primary grades. And we have not been disappointed! We continue to have truly great teachers, that you can actually interact with every day at drop off and pickup and build relationships with them.
I highly encourage anyone who is interested to schedule a tour or go to one of the open houses. Not only is it a charming environment, you will be amazed at how much more they manage to cover than just the basics. There is a focus on fine arts and performances, which are so great for confidence building. But they also get into robotics, go on cool field trips, and seem to have more fun events and activities than you might get in public school. The summer camp sessions are great, too! We'll be very sad to move on after 4th grade!" - Emily F.
"We LOVE everything about Paddington! Where to even begin!?!
Campus: From the moment we toured the school, we could see the tremendous amount of detail and planning that went into every building and classroom. The campus is adorable! It is exactly what we pictured a children's school should be.
Academics/Fine Arts: We wanted an actual school, not a daycare, for our kiddo. Paddington is an amazing school at all grade levels. All classes follow an excellent age-appropriate curriculum for kids not only to develop the expected skills and knowledge but to excel academically, socially, and emotionally. At Paddington, children receive a well-rounded education that includes not only Math, Science, Reading, and Writing but also an extensive Fine Arts program that involves Art, Music, Theater, and more. All children ages 3 and up participate in a few performances throughout the year, e.g.: Character Parade/Performance, Holiday Musical, Spring Musical, etc. It is incredible what children are capable of accomplishing if only given the proper guidance. These performances are a must-see! In addition, every month, children study a specific artist and instrument. They learn about and replicate various works of art, attend numerous recitals and performances for anything from the pipa to bagpipes to piano, etc. And as if that wasn't
enough, children attend/participate in tons of themed events throughout the entire year e.g.: Holidays Around the World, butterfly release, Dr. Seuss Month, Paddington's Birthday, Pumpkin Patch, Snow Day, Splash Day, Supermarket week, Post Office, Election Day, visits from Veggie Lady, Policemen, Firemen, Pilot, Nurse, Dentist, field trips and special presentations (primary grades), and many, many more.
Staff: Paddington has a great campus and an excellent curriculum, but its superpower is, without a doubt, its wonderful staff. The amount of dedication, passion, effort, patience, and love these teachers and administrators pour into the school day in and day out is immeasurable. What an extraordinary group of people!! They make every day of these kids' lives awesome. I have witnessed it firsthand for the past five years and look forward to continuing to do so for two more.
Parental Involvement: Paddington's staff fully understands the importance of nurturing positive parent/school relationships, and what an impact this can have on student achievement. For this reason, Paddington offers a plethora of opportunities for parents to be involved and engaged at school. Not only are parents able to see/talk to the teachers on a daily basis (at drop off/pick up) but we can also be part of the PTA, be homeroom parents, help with class parties, book fair, carnival, attend and help with many of the other special events, etc. The more you put in, the more you get out!
Our kiddo truly loves and enjoys going to Paddington. Every single day, he wakes up super excited and happy to go to school, which in turn makes us, parents, very happy. We were thankful and relieved when primary grades were added, and we didn't have to switch schools. We definitely wish they could continue past 4th grade, but at least we get to enjoy a couple more years. We are so very blessed and proud to be part of Paddington." - Julieta C.
"Paddington has been the best decision/investment my family has made. My daughter started back in 2016 when she was 2 and we are entering our 7th year. She loves school more than anything, to have your child beg to go to school, happy every morning is priceless. She grew to be a confident and kind girl and I am positive the school had an immense impact on this. I always felt heard, communication with leadership as well as teachers have been amazing. The performances always blow my mind and last years robotic show for first grade surpassed my expectations. Truly recommend!" - Ana Clara M.
"Paddington is simply the best! We are so thankful to have found them when starting our daughter school journey. The staff truly cares about each kid and works with them to reach their full potential." - Amanda V.
