Description: R.E.A.D. Preschool has been meeting the educational needs of children in the Hammonton community for over 30 years. Our approach to learning is built on a core principle of understanding where individual children are developmentally in order to help them reach their full potential. We build a foundation of care and support for each child in order to foster creativity, encourage social development, promote exploration, and cultivate a love for learning.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
