My son has attended Paddington since he was 10 months old and will be “graduating” soon to preschool at almost 3 years old. Vanessa, Michael, and Raquel have felt like an extension of family for the entirety of that time. They are kind, loving, patient, communicative, fun, and truly go above and beyond for the kids and parents at Paddington. As a first time mom it was overwhelming to know whether or not I was choosing a “good” daycare and I can wholeheartedly say I don’t believe I could have found anywhere better. Their space is always clean and organized and there seems to be a never ending cycle of toys to keep the kids entertained at every age. The art and crafts they send home are beyond creative and adorable, and the snacks and meals they prepare were wonderful and such an added benefit. They spend tons of time outdoors and doing things like water days in the summer and walking to the nearby parks and library. My son has thrived during his time at Paddington and has been supported through every transition big and little. His language and numbers have exploded and he’s speaking Spanish in addition to English thanks to all of their care and attention. I could go on forever about everything I have loved about this daycare - if you find Vanessa’s and she has an opening, your search is done!

I sent my older son to Paddington Daycare for 3 years, starting from when he was 4 months old until he was ready to transition to preschool. My youngest son is currently there since he was 5 months old and planning on sending our 3rd baby there too! I cannot speak highly enough of Vanessa and her childcare team. She offers nutritious and home cooked meals and snacks, plenty of outdoor time, handmade arts and crafts, and throws birthday parties for each child. She is an expert with babies and toddlers alike and eased a lot of my worries and questions as a first time mom including feeding and napping schedules. Paddington has the kids’ best interest at heart and fully prepares them for their transition to preschool. Vanessa and her team communicate well and keep accurate records for state certification. They are certified in BLS and were easily able to accommodate my son’s egg allergy, both treating him if any exposures occurred and offering egg free menu options. I have rested easy over the last few years with my children in attendance at Paddington Daycare! Highly recommend

Paddington Daycare was one of the biggest blessing to our family for close to five years. Both of my daughters went there from about 4 months old until they "graduated" to preschool. Vanessa, Michael, and Raquel are some of the kindest, most caring people and fully had our trust. Some highlights include: providing nutritious food, facilitating a lot of outdoor time (backyard and near by parks), and creative/educational crafts. They helped us navigate all the milestones such as nap transitions, crawling/walking, solid food, dropping bottles, potty training, etc! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Our son attended Paddington for 2.5 years until he left for preschool, and we loved it so much that we never considered sending our daughter anywhere else, despite moving a few miles away. The care and love the kids receive is incredible, the arts and crafts they do are adorable and help teach kids letters and numbers. They also have great play space in their backyard and are a block away from the park, and take the kids frequently. Vanessa and her team are so adept at handling small child moods, behaviors, and milestones, from teething to potty training, and we always felt supported as we navigated each new phase. I wholeheartedly recommend Paddington to anyone looking for an amazing, quality childcare for your kids.

My daughters has been going to this day care for one year in a half and they love it. I see Vanesa as family as well also my daughters they Evan call her mom and that for me means a lot. I love how she cares for the kids and are patient with them. She very crated with the kids the girls always bring really adorable art and craft work they have done. I 100% recommend this place.
