Why Every Moore County Mom Needs MoCo Mom in Her Back Pocket
Our Sad Reality Check: moore county is inside of a Childcare Desert
If you’ve ever been waitlisted for full-time childcare in Moore County, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not the first mom to joke (or cry) about it. The two-year waitlist for some of the most sought-after facilities is no myth. That’s why MoCo Mom exists: to make navigating early childhood and family life in Moore County easier, less stressful, and way more connected. Whether you're a mom working outside the home, working from home, or working full-time as your child’s primary caretaker, we help you find what you need—fast.
We’ve built a comprehensive and constantly evolving resource library that includes over 50 local schools, daycares, drop-in programs, preschools and more. From nature-based preschools to mommy & me programs, we help you compare schools that (yes!) actually exist here—no more Googling and guessing. Plus, we include practical information like age ranges, hours, part-time options, pricing notes, and contact info. No more hopping from website to website or making ten calls during naptime.
On top of that, MoCo Mom isn’t just a directory—it’s a community. Members can comment on school listings and share personal feedback, creating a trusted space for moms to learn from one another. Want to know what it really feels like to drop your toddler off at full-time daycare or whether a particular preschool lives up to its promises? Chances are, another local mom has already left a review. It’s crowd-sourced insight, mom to mom.
And because we know childcare isn’t the only piece of the puzzle, we’ve gone further. Our platform also covers playgroups, storytimes, mom meetups, mom-only events (rah-rah!), and seasonal events—all curated with young families in mind. So even if you’re home with your child full-time, you’ll still find ways to keep them learning and engaged (while sneaking in some adult conversation for yourself too).
