MOPS Purpose Statement:

What is a MOPS Group?

MOPS groups are communities that meet the needs of every mom with young children. While each MOPS group is different, the program is built on several foundational principles:
• Community: MOPS provides an open, caring, and accepting atmosphere where women can come together to share this important season of life.
• Mentoring: Mature women listen, encourage, and offer information and perspectives gained through experience.
• Practical Speakers: Teaching focuses on areas of common interest, offering inspiration and information that is relevant to the life of a mother.
• Leadership Development: MOPS groups are organized and run by mothers of preschoolers. Women who are involved in MOPS gain confidence in their leadership skills through the training and experience they receive from MOPS.

• Brunch: A chance to get to know other moms while enjoying a light brunch.
• Teaching: Topics presented a MOPS meetings celebrate motherhood and meet a mom’s unique needs during this season of life. Topics including child discipline, relationships, education, and more.
 

What happens at a MOPS meeting?

• Discussion: The intimate and accepting atmosphere of a small group offers moms a chance to share their successes, failures, questions, and concerns. It is during these times that a mom realizes that she is not alone, and lifelong friendships are formed.
• Creative Activities: Through creative projects and presentations, women are encouraged to experience the sense of accomplishment that comes with trying and finishing new things.
• MOPPETS: During the MOPS meetings, children are cared for in a program called MOPPETS, where they experience love in a preschool-like setting with age-appropriate activities.
