About PADDINGTON STATION INC (Paddington Station Preschool)

Paddington Station Inc (operating as Paddington Station Preschool) is an independent, nonprofit early childhood program in Denver that offers play-based preschool and kindergarten programs for children roughly ages 2–6. The school is housed in the historic Little Red Brick Schoolhouse (built 1890–1891) and emphasizes social-emotional learning, diversity, equity and inclusion, outdoor play, and teacher professional development.

The organization is a long-standing, donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit that partners with families and community funders to provide tuition-supported programs along with financial-assistance options. In recent years the school has published an annual report (2024–25) and an updated strategic plan (“Invest in Play!”) and has been actively engaged in facility preservation and fundraising campaigns to maintain and restore its historic building.
