What is MOPS?
MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPS International exists to
meet the needs of every mom - urban, suburban and rural moms,
stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms - moms with
different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best
moms they can be! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through
kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are
filled with unique needs.MOPS helps moms through relationships
established in the context of local groups that provide a caring
atmosphere for today's mother of young children.
"What MOPS has provided
for me… is a welcome break; a chance to make new friends; the
opportunity to know I'm not the only mom who goes through the struggles
and joys of raising young children…"
At First Baptist...
