Mothers of Preschoolers - MOPs is a haven for busy moms. Nearly 3,000 MOPs groups meet in churches in the United States, Canada, and 19 other countries. MOPs focuses relationships that change lives. Relationships are at the heart of MOPs. In a MOPs group, a woman finds a caring, accepting atmosphere where she has an opportunity to share concerns, make friends, explore areas of creativity, and hear instruction from a MOPs mentor, which equips her for the responsibilities of family and community. MOPs care for children through Moppets, a loving, learning experience which meets while moms are together. (Copied by permission.) For more information, go to www.mops.org.

DBC offers a group for moms connected with the International MOPs group.
