Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS)

 
 
 
 
 
Dear Mother of a Preschooler,       
 
Thank you for your interest in MOPS!
 
MOPS is an international Christian organization dedicated to meeting the particular needs of mothers of young children.  We believe in the value of being a mother –- for your own family, for society at large, and for future generations.  The goal of MOPS is to nurture all mothers of preschoolers by reaching out with encouragement, equipping you for the job of motherhood, and providing opportunities to develop friendships with other women.
 
At a MOPS meeting, you will be welcomed by a cup of hot coffee, a bite to eat, and the support of other women who understand your struggles and joys as a mother of a little one.  Sit down and drink your coffee while it’s hot!  Finish your breakfast in one sitting!  Enjoy listening, uninterrupted, to a speaker sharing on topics relevant to your life, such as marriage, parenting, and the home.  Next, break into small groups to enjoy adult conversation as you discuss the talk you just heard.  And from time to time, work on – and complete! – a small project for yourself.
 
Your children will be lovingly cared for down the hall in the MOPPETS classrooms while you are at MOPS.  MOPPETS is a program that includes age-appropriate teaching, story time, crafts and play.  The registration forms for MOPPETS are attached.  Please be sure to fill out a MOPPETS registration form for each child that will be coming to MOPPETS.  (We will happily provide you with additional forms if you require more.)
 
 MOPS will meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month from late September to May at the Presbyterian Church of Old Greenwich.  We warmly welcome everyone with children between the ages of 0-5, including children in Kindergarten.  We do however ask that you sign up for MOPS only if you are committed to attending the majority of the meetings, as there is as a tremendous amount of planning and preparation put into each meeting.
 
To cover the cost of supplies, MOPS participation fees, refreshments, etc. we do need to collect dues.  There is a registration of $250. If you wish, you may pay in two installments of $125 in September and January.  If the payment schedule is a problem for you, please give what you can comfortably...we want you more than your money.
 
As space is limited, please return the MOPS and MOPPETS registration forms and a check with your dues by August 1st:
