What is MOPPETS?

MOPPETS is the childcare program for your children (ages newborn through kindergarten) to attend while you attend MOPS. Your children are precious to us at Hiland Park Baptist Church, and we count it a joy to care for them. They will enjoy a loving, clean, safe environment.

Children will be separated by ages in order to provide the safest environment, as well as one that best meets their needs. Hiland PArk provides childcare workers to oversee each of these classes. The ages may be adjusted, depending on the number of children registered in each class, in order to keep class sizes appropriate and manageable. The classes are:

Lambs, for our littlest ones (birth to ~8 mos)
Turtles, for our crawlers & cruisers (~8 mos to 1 1/2yrs)
Ducks, for our walkers (1 1/2-2 yrs)
Bunnies, for our new 2's (2 years)
Seahorses, for our 2-3 year olds
Dolphins, for our 3-4 year olds (must be potty trained)

Children in the Dolphins class must be completely potty-trained (no pull ups). There are no diaper changing facilities in this room.

Each class will have age appropriate activities. Activities may include: arts & crafts, indoor or outdoor playtime, snacks, Bible stories, music, videos and toys.

We encourage mothers to leave their children in MOPPETS, where they will be well cared for; however, if you feel more comfortable keeping your infant (0-6 mos) with you, you are welcome to do so. We appreciate your cooperation in making our meeting successful and fulfilling to the MOPS purpose.

We look forward to meeting your children and to the opportunity to care for them. We pray that they will be blessed by their time in MOPPETS.
