MOPS (Mothers of PreSchoolers) is an international organization for all moms of infants to kindergarteners (pregnant mommies, too!) MOPS provides an opportunity to meet other moms in the area and enjoy the journey of motherhood together! Fayette MOPS is a group of 20-30 women who meet on a regular basis to socialize, share struggles, laugh, and learn how to become better mommies.
What makes MOPS unique? MOPS isn't just another playgroup. We do so much more than just socialize and have fun (though we do have lots of that!) MOPS seeks to equip you as a mom to become the best mom you can be through a strong support network of women who are in the same stage of motherhood as you are, through relevant speakers and discussions catered to meet the unique needs of mothers of young children.
Our group meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month from 9:15-11:30 a.m. We eat breakfast together, and listen to a speaker (topics vary month to month...view our meeting schedule for more information!). Afterwards, we either break up into small groups to talk on a more personal level, or we do a craft together (that we get to start and finish without any interruptions and with no mess to clean up!)
Childcare is available for children ages 0-5. Newborns up to six months are welcome to stay with you during the meeting. Our childcare is always free, though advance reservation must be made at least four days in advance.
Children enjoy a fun program called MOPPETS. This is a curriculum with stories, crafts, snacks, and outside time and offers a fun, engaging environment for your preschooler.
Each childcare worker goes through a background check and is trained to ensure that your child is in the best of hands. Security pagers are issued as you check in your child so you can be reached easily if your child needs you!
Becoming a member of MOPS is only $23.95 for the year. This includes perks such as a 1 year subscription to MOMSense magazine, a book entitled Life on Planet Mom, free music downloads through MOPS.com, and more!
Each meeting you attend is $5.00, though your first meeting is always free! This fee covers the cost of our speakers, childcare, craft materials, drinks, advertising, curriculum, door prizes, and everything else that helps make MOPS happen!
