What is a MOPS Group?
MOPS groups are communities that strive to meet the needs of every mom with
children from birth through kindergarten. MOPS recognizes that urban, suburban,
and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single, and married moms
all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be. MOPS groups can
help!
There are more than 3900 MOPS groups meeting across the United States and in 35
countries around the world. MOPS groups meet regularly to celebrate the joys of
motherhood and to encourage each other through the challenges.
Different aspects of a MOPS group:
• 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.
• Teaching: Topics presented at MOPS meetings celebrate motherhood and meet a
mom's unique needs during this season of life.
• 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 most MOPS meetings, children are cared for in a program called
MOPPETS, where they experience love in a preschool-like setting.
