MOPS

About MOPS

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, a program designed for mothers with children from infancy through kindergarten. Take time for yourself by joining Vanguard’s MOPS group on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. The years from birth to kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs. MOPS exists to meet the needs of moms from every lifestyle who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be. With teaching, discussion, creative activities, food and fun, MOPS helps moms build friendships while learning more about Christ and His promises to us, all while your child enjoys a safe preschool type environment with loving caretakers in our MOPPETS program. MOPS moms also receive the support of mentor moms; mature women who listen, encourage, and offer Godly perspectives.
