Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) in Prince William County

Are you absolutely at the end of your rope? Are you lonely and tired and overwhelmed by diapers? Honey, you need to get the heck out of your house.  

No, seriously.  Go.

And, honestly, there's no better place to do that than a place where other people understand what you're going through. 

Mothers of Preschoolers, or MoPS is a fantastic organization that exists to support moms through the somewhat overwhelming years of infancy, toddlerhood, and preschool.  Groups have various formats, including daytime with childcare, evenings for working moms, and even groups for teens.  Moms NEXT exists to extend further support to mothers whose children are now elementary aged.  These groups do have a fee associated to cover childcare/supplies/room rentals.  While these groups are housed in churches, you do not have to be a church member or a Christian to belong.  Also, note that most groups will let you come and try a meeting or two before joining. Frequently, scholarships or payment plans are available, too. 

Here are some of our local groups:
