MOPPETS is a fully staffed child care service
and is a ministry of Johnston
Chapel Baptist Church. They provide free child-care for your children
while you attend the MOPS meeting. The people that serve as caregivers
during this time are well-prepared to give your child a
quality experience while you enjoy interaction with the other moms.
Each of the five children's rooms are in close proximity to the MOPS room.
Just as you will enjoy making new friends during MOPS, your children will be
playing with kids their own age doing things they enjoy, making friendships
along the way as well.
Each age group has their own toy bin
that is used only during MOPPETS. These toys are cleaned after each
meeting.
 |
Infants 0-12 M
will be cared for in their own nursery complete with cribs, swings and age
appropriate toys. Mothers have the option of taking a beeper that the
caregivers can use in case your little one needs you. There is a white board available
for you to write feeding schedules, special considerations, nap times and
any other relevant information individual to your child's needs. |
 |
Toddlers 12-24 M will
be cared for in their own nursery equipped with a TV for videos and music
for dancing. There are
age appropriate toys and plenty of special TLC from their caregivers.
Beepers are available for you to use.
|
 |
Toddlers 2-3 Y will be in their own playroom
with age appropriate toys and videos. They will be taken to the
bathroom as necessary (for those that are potty trained of course). Caregivers are
prepared to help the children color or make small crafts for the day. |
 |
Children 3-4 Y will be together to ensure
age appropriate play and learning situations. They will work on
activities and crafts according to the schedule the caregivers have made.
|
 |
Children 4-6 Y will be in their own setting
which will ensure that their minds are stimulated with preschool level
activities, games and toys. |

Things to Remember
·
Sick children will not be
permitted into the MOPPETS program. Please know that it is not our intent
to turn any child or mother away from the MOPPETS program but we have to
protect all children. If your child is sick they are susceptible to other
illnesses as well as exposing well children to their illness.
Signs of illness are as
follows:
|
General malaise
Congestion with cough
Diarrhea
Purulent runny nose
Irritability |
Temperatures of 99 or above
Nausea/vomiting
Generalized rash
Known contact with anyone having chicken pox, hepatitis, meningitis,
strep throat or scarlet fever |
Place your child’s name on
any personal items brought to the MOPPETS room: bottles, toys, diaper bags,
etc.
Your child will be placed
in a MOPPETS room that is relevant for their age group for most of the
MOPPETS year.
Please contact one of us if you have any further
questions about our MOPPETS program.
