MOPS of Perinton

MOPPETS is the children’s program that is run during the meeting where loving care with a preschool-like focus is provided. Children will participate in developmentally appropriate activities, free-play, snacks and faith-based lessons as appropriate for each age group. The MOPPETS program provides a loving learning experience for children.

A mom needs assurance about her child’s well being and happiness before she can get the most of her time in MOPS. The MOPPETS Team strives to provide this assurance. MOPPETS teachers and assistants understand what is involved in competent childcare and are able to communicate well with children, peers, and older adults. The MOPPETS Teachers work with the Steering Team to establish the policies and procedures of the MOPPETS program. They recruit and encourage MOPPETS workers, select appropriate curriculum materials and develop programs and lessons for each class.

Classes are divided by age group but are flexible depending on the number of children and sibling groups. Schedule is flexible and subject to change depending on the needs of the children but typically includes arrival time and free play, circle time with songs, games, crafts, and activities related to the theme of the month, Bible-based lesson and related activity, free play, snack, and outside time when weather permits.
