Paddington Station Preschool is a welcoming and inclusive community that partners with families to celebrate childhood, embrace learning through play, and prepare confident individuals to joyfully explore the wonders of the world.
Paddington Station Preschool began as a dream of educators and parents who were searching for a preschool that was child centered and play based.
The very first Paddington Station preschool class formed in September of 1993 and was located in the backyard of a house in Park Hill with ten children, two teachers and a pet potbelly pig. Over the years it grew and was housed in many different and unique locations. In 2000 Paddington Station moved to its current location, the Little Red Brick Schoolhouse on 13th and Quebec.
From the beginning, families committed to their children's educational development poured their energy and love into the school. They helped tirelessly with clean up days, snack provision and supplying the classrooms with everything from books to toys. Family members continue to work on fund-raising efforts, serve as members of the Board of Trustees and chair our many community building events. Families have always been an integral part of the fabric at Paddington; the family-teacher partnership continues today.
Paddington Station's integrated curriculum encompasses all the domains of development, including play, social-emotional, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, language development, cognitive, physical: fine motor and gross motor, literacy, math, science, social studies, and creative. Our teachers listen to each child and create thematic units based on the children's interests.
Both children and families enthusiastically embrace our amazing school building with its rich history, ample outdoor spaces and the caring warmth of the Paddington Station Preschool team.
In 2011 Paddington Station Preschool purchased the building which was built in 1891 and housed the first public Kindergarten in Denver. As a result of a grant from the State Historical Fund, the exterior of the school was restored to preserve its historical character in the hopes that children will continue to run through its halls and celebrate childhood for many years to come.
