### About New Story Schools – New Holland Road
Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, New Story Schools – New Holland Road is a private educational institution serving children from kindergarten through middle school. As a fully accredited elementary and middle school, we provide a structured, year-round program designed to foster academic growth, social development, and personal confidence.

### Our Educational Environment
At New Story Schools, we believe a strong learning environment combines engaging instruction with a safe, well-organized facility. Our classrooms are designed to accommodate age-appropriate activities—from hands-on manipulatives in kindergarten to exploratory science labs in middle school. Recognizing that each child learns differently, our curriculum emphasizes core subjects while allowing space for creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Though we are a private institution, we pride ourselves on maintaining an inclusive atmosphere where small class sizes and a balanced student-to-staff ratio ensure every learner receives individual attention and meaningful feedback.
### Community Feedback and Continuous Listening
Transparency and open dialogue with families are foundational to our approach. Recent reviews from community members have underscored the value parents place on:
- Bright, well-lit classrooms that inspire curiosity and reduce stress.
- Staff members who engage with warmth, patience, and professionalism rather than relying on force or frustration.
- Thoughtful, calm guidance for children navigating behavioral or developmental challenges.
- Safety features—like secure entrances—that feel welcoming, not intimidating.
- Hygienic food delivery and storage practices that give parents confidence in daily lunches.
These honest observations guide our ongoing conversations about facility design, staff training, security protocols, and meal-service standards. By actively listening to what parents and guardians value most, we remain poised to adapt and refine every aspect of the student experience.
### Committing to Student Well-Being
Emotional health is as important as academic achievement at New Story Schools – New Holland Road. We know that a child’s sense of belonging, comfort, and self-esteem directly impacts learning. That’s why our team continually assesses the emotional climate in every classroom and common space—from lighting and seating arrangements to how we greet students each morning. When concerns arise—whether about overly stern disciplinary methods or unintended stressors like loud door alarms—we take note and engage in constructive dialogue. Our aim is to create an environment where every student arrives eager to explore, discover, and build friendships.
### A Welcoming Place for Families
Choosing the right private educational institution is a journey of trust and partnership. At New Story Schools, we invite parents and caregivers to tour our campus, meet our faculty, and see firsthand how our kindergarten, elementary, and middle-school programs come to life. We understand that no single review can capture the full scope of a child’s day—but by sharing unfiltered feedback and responding with purpose, we strive to earn your confidence.
