It is a blessing to be able to provide you with a quality Christian-based program. I am reminded daily of the awesome responsibility and privilege we have when we welcome your child into a classroom each morning. We will make every effort for each child to feel welcomed and loved.
Hearts of Moore is designed for children three months of age through four years old. Our goal is to give your child a firm foundation mentally, emotionally, socially, physically, and spiritually. With in this page is the policies and a better understand the program as we work together to help your child through a successful year.
As parents, you are cordially invited to visit us, ask questions, and make suggestions. We will be available to you to discuss any concerns you have. The best assurance for the success of your child’s experience is the close cooperation and understanding of parents and staff.

Philosophy, Pricing, Curriculum, and Policies
Our Philosophy
Our mission is to provide a quality Christian education and enhance your child’s educational, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual development. It is our desire for your child to have a fun day that provides opportunities for learning. If we are able to give your children a solid foundation in all areas, they will be better equipped to succeed in the future. It is important to enable every child to grow in understanding and love for God, themselves, their families, and others in their world.
Hours of Operation
With few exceptions, Hearts of Moore PDO will follow the Moore Public Schools calendar. Hearts of Moore PDO is open from 9:00AM until 2:00PM every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September – May. A yearly calendar will be provided each August.

Hearts of Moore PDO will be closed when Moore Public Schools are closed for bad weather. Please check local news stations on bad weather days to see if Moore Public Schools are closed. Hearts of Moore PDO will not be listed separately. There will be no refunds issued for days that are missed. For days that Moore Public Schools are not cancelled, the staff at Hearts of Moore PDO will do our absolute best to care for the children and move them to safer rooms, which includes reinforced bathrooms during tornado season. If it would make you feel better having your child at home, you can come into the facility any time of the day and check him/her out of the classroom.
Drop Off/Pick up Procedures
The staff of Hearts of Moore PDO will arrive before children to prepare for the day. This is necessary planning time. The person who brings your child must stay until the child has been checked into the class. Please do not drop your child off before 9:00 am. It is also essential that your child be picked up on time. At 2:10 pm each day, we will begin charging $1.00 per minute per child for children who are picked up late.

No child will be released to a person unknown to us without parental consent. If your family has specific custody arrangements, please notify the Director. We will utilize the double glass doors on the north side of the building.

We strive to provide an environment in which children can grow mentally, physically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally.

Infants will have individualized schedules. All classes will have nap/rest time after lunch.
