MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers and is dedicated to the message that “mothering matters.” Founded in 1973 by eight women in Colorado, MOPS has grown into a world-wide non-profit organization serving over 100,000 mothers from all walks of life through thousands of chartered groups in 29 countries.

MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom – urban, suburban, and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single, and married moms – moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.
 
MOPS helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups that provide a caring atmosphere for today’s mother of young children. MOPS also encourages and supports moms through resources such as books, this website, the daily MOMSense Radio program, and the MOPS to Mom Connection.
