About Us

What is MOPS?
MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPS exists to encourage, equip and help women become better moms. Women who are pregnant or have young children are invited to join MOPS. Our meetings feature a topical speaker or creative craft along with discussion time to meet other moms. Each meeting includes childcare with activities and a snack for children during every meeting.

Who can be in MOPS?
Stop by for a meeting. We would love to meet you. MOPS is open to ANY mother of children through the age six.

When and where does MOPS meet?
Meetings are generally held on the first and third Wednesday of the month from (September through May) from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM. See our calendar for variations in dates. All meetings are held at Northwest Covenant Church in Mt. Prospect.

What do you do at MOPS meetings?
Bi-monthly meetings include food, fellowship, various speakers, discussion group time, and crafts – that you can do. Check the schedule to see what is going on this week.

What do I do with my children?
Childcare is provided through our MOPPETS program. The children are in age appropriate rooms with at least two adults. Depending on the age, they might have a snack and do a craft.

What does it cost to join MOPS and attend meetings?
The total cost to join MOPS is $50 per semester with or without children utilizing child care. This cost helps offset the rising cost of hospitality items, speaker fees and craft items.

How do I register for MOPS?
