👋🏼 Hi friends, this resource was such a hit that I developed its own website. Check it out and be sure to sign up for the newsletter! 💌

Just to note, the content below is similar to what is listed on the site but definitely out of date. Best to use MoCo Mom, thanks for visiting!

Childcare in Moore County

The purpose of this blog is to try to help caretakers find resources for Childcare in Moore County. This was inspired by my own frustrations in finding quality childcare in town, hitting small blips, and feeling like I had to start over each time.

My biggest piece of advice is to register for anything and everything you’re even remotely interested in, waitlists are so long in this town that you have to have multiple options lined up.

While I’m not an expert here, I hope I can help get you started. If you’re interested in extensive resources (especially listings for full-time infant care), try contacting Partners for Children and Families.

This list was last updated in December of 2023. If you have any updates or questions, please contact me at hello@kileyloesch.com
