MOPPETS is a very pecial program designed for your children.  We are pleased to have the privilege of caring for them.  Your children will be actively involved in MOPPETS from 9:15 - 11:30 a.m. while you are enjoying the fellowship at MOPS.  A registration form must be filled out for each child.

Drop-Off Procedures

• Children may be checked into ther rooms no earlier than 9:10 a.m.
• Sign your child in at the door and please include any special instructions for the day.
• Find your child's nametag and put it on him/her
• Make sue you release your child to a teacher   Do not just send your child into the room without adult knowledge

Pick-up Procedures

All children should be picked up in their respective rooms by their mother at 11:30 a.m.  Please be sensitive to this, as our MOPPETS workers need to be released at this time.  Also, children naturally become upset when they see other kid's' mommies coming, but not their own.  Thank you!

Policies & Procedures

Nursery care is for children ages 3 months and older.  If your infant remains in your care during our meeting and becomes fussy during the lecture/presentation time, you may want to briefly leave the meeting room out of consideration to the lecturer/presenter and other moms.

All bottles, blankets, diaper bags, backpacks, coats, etc. must be clearly labeled withour child's first and last name.

• Please refrain from bringing personal toys from home (special "loveys" are the exception to assist in transition)
• Please use only disposable diapers when your child is in the nursery
• If your child is in training pants, a complete change of clothes is required.
• Only plastic bottles are allowed in the nursery
• Because it is upsetting for youngsters to see people come and go from their classroom, please use discretion when checking on your child during the meeting - mothers will be notified if they are needed.

Additional MOPPETS Information

MOPS is a ministry that strives to serve all mothers of preschoolers in the community.  Although we are happy to provide time for moms to get together for support and fellowship, MOPPETS is not a baby-sitting service.  Please contact the MOPPETS coordinator before MOPS to make arrangements for any visitors.

Special requests, such as placing siblings in the same classroom, must be given to the MOPPETS coordinator.  Your coordinator will always try to accommodate your requests, but please note that space is limited and not all request will be granted.
