Mothers of preschoolers (ages 0-Kindergarten) are invited to be part of a new MOPS group in Olympia.  Join together with other moms for a time of fun, support, learning, and relationship building. Moppets, a counterpart program for children, is provided so that MOPS moms have a chance to relax and connect with others in a child-free environment.

Meetings will be held alternating Thursdays from 9:00am-10:30am at New Bridge Community Church (812 Central St SE). The first meeting will be Thursday, September 11th.  Please RSVP to ensure we have enough quality childcare providers.

For more information or to RSVP please call 360-486-9029
