FAQs
My child is just a few months old. Is it worth it for me to join now, or should I wait until she is older and can participate in the activities?
MOMS Club is a support and activities organization, available to stay-at-home and part-time-working mothers. Whether your child is six weeks old, six months old, or six years old, you need support! While your child may be too young to participate in some of our special events, there are weekly playgroups, most of which have at least one mom with an infant in them. These regular and small gatherings allow you to connect with moms who are going through – or recently did – the same things you are: challenges with feeding, sleeping through the night, introducing solids, learning to crawl, and the first word. As for other activities – whether a gathering in someone’s home or an outing – as a member, you are always welcome to come and bring your baby. Many of us realize (and remember) that MOMS Club is as much for the moms as it is for the kids. So we encourage you to join so that you can socialize for yourself - that's what new moms need!
I work full-time, but I’d like to meet other moms. Can I join?
All mothers are welcome to join, though the schedule of activities and events caters to stay-at-home and part-time-working moms. That is, almost all MOMS Club playgroups and events take place on weekdays, generally between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.
I don’t live in West Chester, but I have a friend in your club. Can I join the MOMS Clubs of West Chester?
MOMS Club International sets boundaries for each individual chapter for a few reasons. First, as the children get to know each other while they are growing up, many of them will end up attending the same school when they live nearby to each other. Second, from a practical standpoint, it is more convenient for meetings, playgroups, and other gatherings that members all live within a few miles of each other. There are several other MOMS Club chapters that serve the communities in the surrounding areas, please visit http://www.momsclub.org.
What is the annual membership fee used for?
Our chapter pays a small fee to MOMS Club International, and some funds are used for administrative expenses (room rental for meetings, photocopies, postage for mailings, etc.). The bulk of our budget, though, is earmarked for service projects. Please be aware that no one may be denied membership because of financial hardship, so if the yearly dues are an issue, please let us know.
Can I just join a playgroup?
Our bylaws state that you must be a paid member to participate in any club activities or playgroups, due to liability concerns. After you join the MOMS Clubs of West Chester, you will receive information about our playgroups as well as our calendar of many other activities each week!
