What is MOPPETS?
MOPPETS is our childcare program that takes place during our meetings so that you can enjoy your MOPS experience while your children are placed into the loving and dedicated hands of our MOPPETS staff. Your child will experience a preschool like setting with age appropriate activities to foster their development in a fun and engaging way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do I need to bring with my child?
A: No need to lug around your big diaper bag! Just put a couple diapers, wipes, change of clothes, a pacifier or special snack in a Zip-lock bag with your child’s name on it. Make sure to thoroughly and clearly mark your items.
Q: Can I bring my newborn into the MOPS meeting with me?
A: Of course! We welcome all newborn little ones who still need to be close to mom. We just ask that you respect the other moms and should your child become a distraction that you handle that appropriately. Once children hit the one year mark, we ask that they become enrolled in our wonderful MOPPETS program.
Q: Does it cost anything?
A: Moppets is included in your MOPS dues.
Q: Is the MOPPETS program located near where the main MOPS meetings take place?
A: Yes, your child is literally right down the hall.
Q: How soon can I drop my child off for MOPPETS?
A: Childcare begins at 9:15 and ends at 11:30.
Q: Who decides which room my child is placed in?

A: Yes, your children will receive a snack time during their stay in MOPPETS. We do ask that you provide one snack per semester. If your last name begins with A-L please bring either Cheese Crackers or Vanilla Wafers. If you last name begins with M-Z please bring either Graham Crackers or Pretzels.
Q: What types of activities will my child experience?
A: Rug time, arts and crafts, indoor playtime, outdoor playtime, snack time and even rest time (for the little ones).
Q: What if my child is sick?
If your child has been fever free (without meds) for 24 hours they are welcome at MOPPETS.
If your child has a clear runny nose, and are otherwise feeling fine they are welcome to come and play. If your child has a green runny nose, please keep them home. We will encourage your kids to share many things at MOPPETS, sickness is not one of them.
