Welcome to the world of Mothers of Preschoolers.  MOPS is here to encourage, equip and develop you as a mother of a preschooler to realize your potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom - urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms - moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.

MOPS helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups that provide a caring atmosphere for today's mother of young children.  MOPS also encourages and supports moms through resources such as books, this Web site, the MOMSense radio program and the MOPS International Membership.
