St. Peter's MOPS

....Celebrating Motherhood

MOPPETS Program

While moms enjoy  the meetings, their children are lovingly cared for in the MOPPETS program, which is designed to meet their needs with activities that encourage social growth and spiritual enrichment.  Age-appropriate stories, songs, games, crafts and free play enhance their physical and creative development.

Children are divided into age groups and are cared for by qualified and carefully screened workers, who provide children with a fun and safe environment.

Child registration is required for the MOPPETS program to ensure the safety of all our precious little ones.  Please email the coordinator before attending for the first time so we can make adequate plans for your child(ren).

 

Sick Children Guidelines

Please do not bring a child to MOPS who:

  • has a temperature of 100 degrees or higher within the last 24 hours
  • has vomited or has had diarrhea within the last 24 hours
  • has a runny nose with green or yellow mucous
  • has been exposed to a contagious disease (chicken pox, head lice, pink eye, etc.)

Please secure a note from your child's doctor if he/she has a chronic condition such as allergic rhinitis, which is not contagious but may resemble a cold or infection.  If your child is being treated for an infection, he/she should be on antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to MOPPETS.

No medication of any kind will be administered by a caregiver.  If your child needs a medication, it must be kept and administered when needed by the mom.  Please keep in mind that bringing your sick child to a MOPS meeting may jeopardize the health of others and put your child at risk of developing additional symptoms.  Remember the Golden Rule of "Sick Day Decisions."  If another child had the same symptoms, would you be glad to have him/her sitting next to your child?
