Albright Learning Center
Moves into a Spacious
New Facility

With a spacious and colorful new facility on Kutztown Road in Reading, the Albright Learning Center (formerly the Albright Child Development Center located in Mohn Hall) has expanded its programs. The Center now comprises the Albright Child Development Center, which offers quality childcare with an emphasis on social development, and the Albright Special Education School, a program for school-age special-needs children from Berks County school systems.

In addition to housing classrooms for childcare, preschool, full-day kindergarten, infant and toddler care (beginning fall 2003) and special education, the centerpiece of the 10,500-square-foot new facility is the "The Village," a large play area complete with child-size storefronts perfect for imaginative play. The Center also houses a library room with computer workstations.

Affiliated with Albright’s early childhood/elementary education program, the various classrooms serve as training centers for Albright College students. Early field experiences, student teaching, class projects and research studies are several ways that various departments on campus use the facility.

The Center is fully accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
