Hearts in Harmony (formerly Heart’s Delight) was established in 1992 and is a media-free home-based preschool for children ages 2-4 with a nature and play-based program that provides a rich array of opportunities for multi-sensory discovery, exploration, and experimentation. Within walking distance of Duke University and Brightleaf Square, we are located in quiet Morehead Hills neighborhood, just a few blocks away from Durham public school magnet, Morehead Montessori.

Hearts in Harmony is graced with a lovely spacious outdoor environment where a bamboo thicket and towering pecan trees provide a forest-like canopy for many species of wild birds that regularly visit our bird feeder. These days we also have an indoor/outdoor child-friendly cat named Loci and a frog. Several original outdoor play structures (including a covered sand-play area and two raised-bed gardens) provide ample opportunities for gross motor and dramatic play, as well as sand, water, and gardening activities.

As a 4-star rated state licensed program, our class size is limited to 5 children. Because our mission is to serve parents for whom spending time with their young children is a priority and who have arranged their work schedules so as not to need full-time care, several varieties of care options ranging from a minimum of 8 hours to a maximum of 35 hours per week are available.

Learning is experience. Everything else is just information. - Albert Einstein
