About Princes and Princesses Day Care

Welcome to Princes and Princesses Day Care

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, Princes and Princesses Day Care is more than just a day care center or school—it’s a home away from home. Our warm, secure atmosphere is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence in every child. Here, your little prince or princess isn’t just another face in the crowd; they’re a cherished member of our family, supported by dedicated professionals who celebrate each milestone and cultivate a lifelong love of learning.

A Holistic Educational Approach

At Princes and Princesses Day Care, we believe that early childhood education lays the foundation for future success. Our thoughtfully crafted curriculum encourages exploration through hands-on activities, group projects, and individual learning stations. Whether a child is mastering shapes or discovering how plants grow, our goal is to tailor lessons to each developmental stage. Parents have proudly shared stories of dramatic growth—“mi hija ha alcanzado logros gracias al excelente trabajo realizado con ella”—and describe their time here as “algo mágico para los niños.” We combine structured learning with play-based discovery to help every child reach their personal milestones.

Safe, Home-Like Environment

Safety and comfort go hand in hand at our Reading, PA, location. Families consistently praise the daycare’s “muy acogedor” vibe and liken it to a nurturing household. Bright, welcoming classrooms, cushioned play areas, and secure entry systems all contribute to a setting where kids feel free to explore—and parents feel peace of mind. We’ve heard concerns in the past about lapses in supervision, and we take them seriously. In response, we’ve strengthened our staff rotations, enhanced staff training, and redoubled our focus on active engagement. This relentless commitment ensures that every child is watched, guided, and encouraged every moment they’re with us.

Dedicated, Caring Staff

Our greatest strength is our team. At Princes and Princesses Day Care, skilled educators offer individualized attention that fosters trust and joy in learning.

  • Marielena Villalona stands out for her gentle patience and personal rapport. Families say, “Marielena is a wonderful teacher. My son loves her,” and note that her kindness transforms the daycare into a place kids can’t wait to visit.
  • Miss Yahaira wins hearts with her charisma and unwavering availability. Parents rave, “Miss Yahaira is the best teacher and a GREAT PERSON—she loves the kids and loves her job.”
  • Miss Escandry and Miss Venezuela bring polished professionalism and engaging energy to the classroom. Their excellent customer service leaves parents confident and cared for.
  • Wanda Rosario, affectionately called “Tía Wanda,” lights up every room with her angelic warmth. Children beam when she arrives, and parents commend her “carisma que te hace ser especial.”

This blend of warmth, expertise, and genuine affection creates a foundation where children flourish emotionally, socially, and academically.

Open Communication and Trust

Transparent, two-way communication is the cornerstone of our parent relationships. From daily activity reports to impromptu chats at pick-up time, we make sure you’re always in the loop. One parent reflects, “La Jefa siempre es muy amable y abierta a ser de ayuda, flexible y servicial,” while another adds, “Confío ciegamente en ella para cuidadora de mi hija.” Whether discussing developmental progress or simply sharing a smile, we prioritize building the trust you need to feel confident in your child’s care.

Continuous Improvement in Supervision

We understand that safety and supervision are non-negotiable. While earlier feedback highlighted occasional lapses—“one staff is always on the floor sleeping” and “no supervision, and the people work there aren’t prepared to work with children”—we’ve taken these concerns to heart. Our leadership team has implemented:
• Mandatory staff wellness checks and rotating break schedules to eliminate fatigue
• Enhanced training in child engagement and classroom management
• Frequent, unannounced audits to ensure every child receives vigilant attention

These measures reinforce our promise: no child will ever be left unsupervised, and every caregiver will be alert, attentive, and ready to support.
