Now enrolling in West Philadelphia

A home away from home for bright minds.

Moore Learning Minds is a small, family-style childcare academy in West Philadelphia, where infants through school-age children are known by name, cared for like family, and prepared for what's next.

Programs

A room for every stage, from first naps to homework help.

Each classroom is age-appropriate, licensed, and staffed for the milestones that matter at that stage — so your child is always in the right room, doing the right kind of learning.

  • 6 weeks – 12 months

    Infants

    Gentle, one-on-one care built around each baby's own rhythm — feeding, naps, and tummy time on their schedule, not the room's.

  • 1 – 2 years

    Toddlers

    Big steps happen here: first words, first friends, first trips to the potty. Our toddler room is built for safe, hands-on exploring.

  • 3 – 4 years

    Preschool

    Story time, color and shape recognition, and imaginative play that builds the social and pre-academic skills kindergarten expects.

  • 4 – 5 years

    Pre-K

    Letters, numbers, and following multi-step directions — a structured runway that gets every child confident and ready for kindergarten.

  • 5 – 12 years

    School Age

    Before- and after-school care with homework help, snacks, and free play, so the school day doesn't have to end at 3pm.

Curriculum

Learning happens with paint on their hands.

Our classrooms favor hands-on discovery over worksheets — science experiments, art projects, and teacher-guided activities that let children learn by doing, not just watching.

Science, art, and everything in between

From baking-soda volcanoes to easel painting, our teachers turn everyday materials into lessons your child will want to tell you about at pickup.

Welcome

Care that feels like it was built for your family.

Family-like atmosphere

Small class sizes and consistent caregivers mean your child is greeted by name every morning, not passed between strangers.

Daily communication

Naps, meals, milestones, and moods — you'll know how your child's day went before you even walk in the door.

Kindergarten readiness

Our Pre-K classroom is built around the academic, social, and emotional benchmarks Philadelphia kindergartens expect.

Enrichment

More than a classroom.

Solar eclipse hats, gingerbread houses, dress-up days, and the occasional National Spaghetti Day — this is where Moore Learning Minds' personality comes out.
