MOPS Mothers of Preschoolers

What is MOPS?

Feedback from MOPS MomsMothers of PreSchoolers (MOPS) is about...

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. It is a nondenominational Christian program designed to encourage mothers, through resources provided through the group. MOPS is an international group whose primary goal is to meet the needs of all moms. We are dedicated to the message that “Mothering Matters” and provide the encouragement that moms of young children need during these critical and formative years.
