My First Steps Child Care Center

About My First Steps Child Care Center

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, My First Steps Child Care Center is a full-service day care center dedicated to nurturing young minds and supporting busy families. From infants to pre-K, our licensed facility offers engaging care, age-appropriate learning experiences, and a warm, community-driven atmosphere. At My First Steps, every child’s safety, growth, and happiness are our top priorities.

Our Philosophy

We believe that the early years lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning. That’s why our curriculum balances structured activities with free play, purposeful discovery with restful downtime. We aim to spark curiosity, celebrate milestones—like potty training successes—and foster independence, all within a caring, supportive environment.

Tailored Programs & Activities

• Infant & Toddler Care
  Gentle routines and responsive caregiving help the youngest learners feel secure. Parents have praised our team for helping toddlers transition out of diapers: “They helped a lot in removing my daughter’s diaper—now at 3 years old she’s diaper-free and drinking from a cup!”
• Pre-K Enrichment
  Our preschoolers enjoy hands-on literacy, art, and motor-skill stations designed to build confidence and prepare them for kindergarten. Though feedback has highlighted the need for more structured play, we’ve expanded our activity rotations this year—introducing storytelling circles, music time, and outdoor exploration.

Safety & Security You Can Trust

Child safety is non-negotiable. We’ve taken decisive steps to strengthen supervision and secure our campus:

• Improved Staff Ratios
  By recruiting experienced early-childhood educators and increasing on-floor coverage, we reduce bullying incidents and ensure every child is seen and heard.
• Enhanced Entry Protocols
  All visitors now check in at a single monitored entrance, present valid ID, and wear a badge while on premises. No one leaves with your child without proper authorization.

Communication & Family Engagement

Open, two-way communication is the bedrock of our partnerships with parents. In response to past concerns—“you get a smile and a ‘yeah or no,’ but no real updates”—we’ve implemented:

• Daily Digital Reports
  Each family receives timely notes on meals, diaper changes, naps, and playtime highlights.
• Bilingual Staff Availability
  While only a few team members are fluent in Spanish, we’ve scheduled them across all shifts and added translation support to ensure clear, compassionate dialogue for every parent.
• Weekly Newsletters & Parent-Teacher Touchpoints
  From upcoming events to curriculum snapshots, you’ll always know what’s happening in your child’s classroom.

Clean, Healthy, and Welcoming Environment

Maintaining a spotless, well-sanitized play space is essential for little ones. We’ve revamped our cleaning protocols to address prior cleanliness concerns—no more dusty slides or sticky blocks:

• Play equipment and high-touch surfaces are disinfected multiple times daily.
• Staff undergo hygiene and sanitation training monthly.
• Outdoor playgrounds receive routine inspections to ensure safe, germ-free fun.

Celebrating Success Stories

While no child care center is perfect, we’re proud of the positive moments that shine through:

• One family raved, “She is always happy and has fun there. And enjoys it!”
• Another honored us with the title “Number One” and “Best one,” reminding us why we started this journey.
• Our potty-training support program has fast-tracked diaper independence for countless toddlers, nurturing both their confidence and yours.
