The Ridgefield MOPS, Mothers of Preschoolers, will be holding their first meeting of the year on Wednesday, September 11th, from 9:00 to 11:45 a.m. MOPS is a group for mothers of young children to find friendship, support, and encouragement.
"MOPS has been an incredible support system and resource since I've become a mom. It's a warm, welcoming environment where moms can come together and share their experiences to realize they're not alone. I look forward to our meetings all month," says Kate Fitzpatrick.
Moms of infants through kindergartners are welcome to attend.
"If you want to be a part of a moms group that fosters genuine friendships and gives you much needed respite from the storms of motherhood, come to MOPS!" says Meg Whitbeck.
"MOPS is different than other playgroups because it is first a place for moms to gather and a playgroup, second. I think sharing the pains of motherhood can dispel any shame or guilt and can bring comfort that others have experienced similar situations," says Tina Unruh.
MOPS is part of an international non-profit organization known as MOPS International. For more information about MOPS International visit mops.org.
