Dads & Development
A six-week father-child group designed to help dads feel more confident, connected, and supported from the start.
The DAD Projects are experiential groups designed exclusively for fathers and their young children. Fathers attend each session with their child. Each session combines discussion, guided play, developmental information, and shared experiences to help fathers better understand their child’s development and strengthen their relationship through everyday interactions.
When dads feel confident, connected, and supported as parents to their babies and toddlers, everyone benefits. This series offers practical, research-informed guidance grounded in child development and real family life.
