I would have told mom to have her child read in the car too, or in the morning hen mom is getting ready for work or whenever as long as it wasn't at daycare. I have had to do that with my own children on occasion. As for letting her read to the younger children at daycare it would really depend on the group. The only way my group stays somewhat quiet and still during reading time is if I use voices for each character and "act" out the book. A "new reader" like the 6 year old might bore the children with her slow, monotone reading style and if not they would probably make it difficult for her to read with their interruptions...then again maybe she's a great reader and your group is able to stay quiet and still for 30 minutes. If not I would suggest not letting her read to the group because their distractions may cause her to dislike reading.
