MOPPETS Guidelines

MOPPETS is held in the 2nd floor classrooms in the Education Building. Our MOPPETS program is designed for children of MOPS moms only. If you babysit other children, please make other arrangements for those children on that day.

Pick up your child's name tag at the sign in table. All children must be signed in each session they attend. Please note any important information or special instructions on the sign-in sheet (i.e. allergies, potty training).

Infants under the age of 6 months or non-crawling infants may remain with their moms. Older children must be places with their age group and remain in this group during the meetings. Moms will be notified of any need by the MOPPETS volunteer.

No medication of any kind will be given by any MOPPETS volunteer.

Please do not bring toys from home.

Please exercise good judgment as to when NOT to bring your child. If a child has a fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or runny nose (except clear) within 24 hours before a MOPS meeting, please do not bring them. Of course, mom is welcome if other arrangements can be made for her child. We want to have a happy, healthy MOPPETS program. Thank you for your cooperation in this important matter.

For children in the MOPPETS nursery:

a. Please bring a diaper bag with bottles, diapers, pacifier, wipes, and change of clothes. Please have your child's name on his/her items.
b. Give instructions for our child (feeding, nap, etc.) on sign in sheet.
c. If your child will require a nap, bring blanket or infant seat.
d. Volunteers are instructed to notify you if your child is crying for a long time.

For children in the remaining MOPPETS rooms:

e. Please dress child for ease of potty use or diaper changes. Bring diapers if required.
f. Please dress child appropriately for playtime. Keep in mind painting, gluing, etc.
g. Bring a labeled sipper cup.
h. Please do not bring food (unless allergies require). A snack is provided.
i. Please do not check on your child during meeting. Volunteers are instructed to notify you if there is a need.

When dropping off or picking up your child, please be sure to show your appreciation to our MOPPETS volunteers. Without them, our MOPPETS program is nearly impossible.

It is important to review the sitting schedule early. If there is a conflict and you are unable to babysit, it is your responsibility to find your own replacement, i.e. ask a friend or another mom in your discussion group to trade days. We need everyone's help.

Please be respectful of our wonderful volunteers and pick up your child or children no later than 11:20 am. Our volunteers are relieved at 11:20 am.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jen or Cara.
