Is childcare provided at MOPS?

We have a wonderful program for children called MOPPETS!

About Newborns: Babies may attend the MOPS meeting with their mothers. We also have a nursery from Newborns (0-9 months) and Walkers (9 or 12 months +). About MOPPETS: MOPPETS provides quality infant and toddler care. Those under one year of age are cared for in a loving nursery setting. Older children are divided into age groups which allows each child to interact with children of similar levels. Their classrooms are filled with stories, games, songs, crafts, projects, playtime and a healthy snack. About Our MOPPETS Caregivers: We have a wonderful team of caregivers who serve in our MOPPETS classrooms. They are all highly competent volunteers who have experience with little ones (former teachers, nurses, grandparents, etc.). They are all screened by our MOPPETS Coordinator and receive training to be the best caregivers that they can be.
