Overview
Nestled in the heart of Reading, Pennsylvania, BCIU Learning Center at The Education Center is a dedicated education center designed to support children’s growth, learning, and well-being. We believe every child deserves attention, compassion, and the opportunity to flourish—no matter their background or learning style. From structured academic activities to individualized support plans, our programs are built on a foundation of professional expertise and a genuine passion for helping young learners succeed.
Specialized Autism Support
One of the hallmarks of BCIU Learning Center at The Education Center is our comprehensive program for children on the autism spectrum. Families repeatedly share that our targeted therapies and structured learning environments have proven transformative:
- “If your child has autism, this is the place to get them the help they need.”
- “They helped my grandson, and I’m so grateful for the help they gave my daughter for him.”
Our autism specialists partner closely with parents, creating tailored learning objectives, sensory-friendly classrooms, and consistent progress tracking. By focusing on each child’s strengths and celebrating every milestone—big or small—we help build confidence, communication skills, and lasting independence.
A Culture of Continuous Improvement
At BCIU Learning Center at The Education Center, we’re committed to listening and adapting. We recognize that parents entrust us with their most precious treasures, and we take that responsibility seriously. In response to valuable feedback, we have implemented:
- Enhanced Staff Engagement Protocols: Regular professional-development workshops ensure teachers are fully present, attentive, and always approachable—on the playground, in the classroom, and at drop-off or pick-up times.
- Streamlined Communication Channels: We now offer real-time alerts via phone, text, or email to let families know immediately when a child needs an extra snack, fresh clothing, or any special care.
- Revised Meal & Clothing Practices: Our new check-in/out procedure double-confirms that each child’s lunchbox is intact and spare clothes are available, so no child ever goes hungry or stays uncomfortable for any length of time.
These improvements stem from our belief that responsive care and open dialogue are key to building trust and ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and engaged.
Professional, Caring Staff
Behind every lesson, activity, and breakthrough is a team of dedicated professionals who view teaching as both a calling and a craft. While individual experiences may vary, many represent our staff culture in their own words:
- “It’s a very nice place to work.”
We’re proud of our positive workplace environment, where collaboration and morale thrive. Staff members support one another with peer-led training sessions, mentorship opportunities, and regular team gatherings. This internal harmony shines through in the classroom, translating into consistency and stability for your child’s daily routine.

Our reputation in Reading speaks for itself. In addition to specialized autism services, parents routinely endorse our overall approach:
