Reviews
If I could give them zero stars I would, this has to be one of the worst daycares in Reading. The owner is rude and never greets the children OR the parents, The staff does the bare minimum and the children are never doing activities. They don't sanitize anything and on more than one occasion I had the misfortune of running into roaches. overall just disgusting and disappointing.

About the Provider
Demand for daycare facilities continue to grow day by day, but all too often, institutions are only able to focus on either allowing the child to enjoy their childhood and develop naturally or forcing the child to focus only on mental development in order to achieve high test scores later on in life.
The New Lector, LLC is different. We promote physical activities in large open areas and a wide variety of educational games, but we also have a small library and various arts and crafts for your child to unleash his or her full creative and intellectual potential.
Our goal is to promote every child's development individually using an appropriate mix of academic and recreational activities.
