Paddington British Private School 2010 Sawdust Road, The Woodlands, TX 77380

"Paddington has been an amazing school for my daughter and now my son! My daughter started Paddington when she was 2 and is now entering her 1st grade year with Paddington. My son is about to enter into the 2 year old class and I’m so happy they will be sharing the Paddington experience together. My daughter has advanced tremendously and I am so excited to see my son excel at the same rate. The staff could not be any more accommodating, sweet, and beyond professional. They are true advocates for early education and the curriculum exceeds all expectations. My daughter has made amazing friendships with not only the kids in her class and their families, but the staff has turned into extended family as well."

"I am so thankful to have found Paddington for my daughter. The focus on academics and fine arts is amazing, especially as they have expanded into the primary grades. Because of the amount of performances and public speaking exercise they do, my daughter feels confident speaking in front of a room full of adults. It is incredible to see how the teachers work with the kids to help ensure they all feel confident as they get up to do their part. I feel very lucky that my daughter has had amazing teachers who truly care about her and want to help her reach her own highest potential. We see the teacher every morning and afternoon and always feel welcome to address any concerns we have at those times. The communication is great as we receive weekly emails of topics to be discussed as well as photographs! Paddington has been such a blessing for my daughter who started her school journey here."

"As soon as we toured Paddington, it was love at first sight. And we have enjoyed 5 years at this school. All three of our daughters have attended. We have experienced preschool-1st grade here. Although it is a bit of a commute for us, no other school compares so it has been worth it. Things we love: -Amazing, experienced teachers. Many of whom I now call friends. -Huge secluded campus, each classroom themed and cozy -We did not want a daycare, we wanted a true school. Children go to class in the morning, and clubs of your choosing in the afternoon. They are not forced to nap. You do not have to pay for an entire day if you only want them to go for a few hours, or a few days of the week. -Large forested playground and an indoor playground for rainy days -Tons of themed events throughout the year that the children look forward to Special note: We had all 3 girls attend Kindergarten here. It has been a wonderful, gentle transition for them before heading to public school. The reading program is very strong, with 2 of our girls reading chapter books half way through. Our youngest who has struggled with reading has had a massive break through. We were very blessed to have Ms. Sarah as our Kindergarten teacher for two of our girls, and she has now taken over as Head of School. She is a super woman. Incredibly hard working, driven, and insightful. She is making excellent changes, and leading the school in a great direction. We will miss Paddington! Thank you for everything :)"

"My children absolutely adore Paddington British School. While searching for a pre-school for my first child we visited numerous schools in the area and every school that we visited my son would be glued to my wife and not want to leave her side. When we visited Paddington my son immediately felt at ease and started to play with other children. At that moment we knew that Paddington was the school for us. The teachers are excellent and you can tell they truly care for the children and their development. The curriculum is outstanding and I definitely feel that my children will be well prepared when they enter 1st grade. I now have two sons that attend the school and will guarantee that I will be sending my newborn daughter there as well."

"Paddington was an extremely pleasant surprise for me and my daughter and I couldn't have been happier with our decision. When looking at a school for our daughter there was so much to consider. Education: Our daughter loves learning at Paddington. Not only is she excited about learning to read and write but she is exposed to the arts along this journey with each month having a instrument, composer and artist theme. She has been exposed to a lot of hands on learning, Music, Science, Computers, Ballet and Spanish. Care: Not only do I get the feeling of the staff being a family, I know my child is extremely well looked after. The teachers speak to each child with respect, manners are taught and each child and parent is welcomed. They understand that each child is an individual and that everyone can learn from each other. Interest: My daughter has a love of learning. Paddington has ensured that they have exposed her to sports, performances, fun activities ALL the time (just looking at their calendar is exciting enough), arts, language and has a solid base to start 'big school'. What young kid wouldn't want to go to school in a fairytale setting? All the boxes were ticked for me and more."
