When I moved to
Moscow
my boys were 8 months and 2 years old. I found out about Co-op from a
new-comers pack my husband got from the University. Going to Co-op was
the very first thing I did when I got here. I called Karyl Davenport
who was then a director and she said, "Come on down tomorrow!" Well,
after I got over my jet lag I did. Co-op was the perfect thing to do as
a new person in town and as a mom of two small kids. It gave me
support, structure for my days and weeks, and introduced me to so many
people who are still my friends today .

MPTC made an
impact on my son by offering him a place to learn social skills and
interact with other children. It provided a place for me to meet other
parents and make friends. We are grateful to
MPTC for helping us connect to the Moscow community.

MPTC was a
lifesaver for me when, at the age of 35, I had my son Matthew. My girls
were 16 and 13 years old, and I really needed a group of young families
and children. We have made lasting friends through MPTC!

Co-op gave me a
sense of family and a place to find friends and advice when I was new
to this area. I still have those friends and am still getting that
advice to this day. The people I love and cherish today, and my
children's best friends all came from Co-op. When we first arrived, an
older member of the university community suggested we join Co-op. He
recounted how when he first came 25 years ago, that was where his
family first met their closest friends, which they also have to this
day. Co-op isn't just about when your kids are preschoolers...it's
about lasting relationships, friendships and an incredible support
group.

I had not be in
Moscow very long when my first son was born, and I didnt know very many
people. I was pleased to find out about Moscow Parent Toddler
Co-op which came to be an important part of my life for the next five
years. The support and friendship of other families both then and
now - fifteen years later - is incredible!
