Our story
A village built by moms, for moms.
Moms Club of Garnet Valley started with a simple idea — that no mom should feel alone. We've been growing ever since. Boundaries for the Garnet Valley MOMS Club members are: Garnet Valley, Glen Mills, Thornbury. (19060, 19342, 19319, 19373.) School District: Garnet Valley
How we got started
International: The first chapter of the International MOMS Club was founded in 1983 by Mary James, a stay-at-home mom in California who was tired of being home alone. Hoping to meet other at-home mothers and children, she soon discovered that there were no organizations that met during the day that provided activities for both moms and kids alike. So, she decided to start a new organization to fill that role to serve stay-at-home moms and their little ones. Thus, the MOMS Club was born! Today, there are over 2,000 chapters of the MOMS Club nationwide with over 100,000 members! There are currently several international chapters forming too.
Garnet Valley: The Garnet Valley MOMS club was founded in 2000 by a group of local moms looking to make new friends and find meaningful activities for both themselves and their children. Since our found, we have grown from just a handful of moms to over 70 active members!
We are not a formal organization with dues and bylaws — we are neighbors, friends, and fellow moms who believe that community makes everything better.
What we stand for
Our values
Inclusion
Every mom is welcome here — regardless of background, family structure, or stage of motherhood. We celebrate our differences.
Authenticity
No perfect Instagram moments required. We show up as we are — tired, joyful, messy, and real.
Community
We believe in the power of showing up for each other — with a meal, a listening ear, or a playdate on a hard day.
Empowerment
We share knowledge, resources, and encouragement so every mom feels confident and supported in her journey.
