Purpose

To nurture all mothers of preschoolers by meeting their distinct needs. All mothers of preschoolers are welcome here, regardless of age, race, or religious beliefs. The following are the nine basic needs of mothers; we seek to affirm and meet these needs.

SIGNIFICANCE - Sometimes I wonder if mothering matters

IDENTITY - Sometimes I’m not sure who I am

GROWTH - Sometimes I long to develop who I am

INTIMACY - Sometimes I long to be understood

INSTRUCTION - Sometimes I don’t know what to do

HELP - Sometimes I need to share the load

RECREATION - Sometimes I need a break

PERSPECTIVE - Sometimes I lose my focus

HOPE - Sometimes I wonder if there’s more to life

We try to meet those needs the following ways:

  • Through a woman-to-woman network of conversation, exchange of ideas, support, and intimate friendships.
  • Instruction from an experienced Mom on the varied roles of wife, mother, friend, and woman.
  • Small discussion groups exploring topics that range from marriage and motherhood to spiritual and individual enrichment on a personal level.
  • The opportunity to complete a craft project for enjoyment at home or to give as a special gift.
  • Quality childcare and developmentally appropriate curriculum for children ages infant through kindergarten!
