Caring for preschoolers (birth through kindergarten), and guiding these little souls is beautiful and hard, and having each other to lean on is life-giving. That’s why Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) connect moms locally to meet together to laugh, cry, and embrace the journey of motherhood. You don’t have to struggle through the challenges alone. MOPS is open to all women who desire encouragement, friendship with other moms, and a nudge closer to Jesus. This is motherhood, and together with God we can change the world in all the best ways!

MOMSnext is MOPS—the brand and values are the same, but the needs of the mom have changed. Every year, mothers leave MOPS. Some graduate (they no longer have preschoolers) while others leave with a foot in both worlds as their oldest ventures off to school. Instead of discussions about potty training and sleepless nights, MOMSnext moms need to talk about other topics, such as partnering with teachers and navigating their children’s increased freedoms on the internet, in the neighborhood, and at home.
