About the program
Our programs are for dads, step-dads, grandfathers and other men who play an important role in a child's life. Our programs include:
- Cook it with Dad: for dads and kids to cook and eat healthy meals together
- Dad's Little Builders: for dads and kids to connect through creating and building
- Baby Play Time: for dads and babies (0 – 18 months) to have fun and meet other dads.
- Dig it with Dad: get dirty with your kids and grow fruit and vegetables in our private garden plot
Our programs are all designed to help dads and other father figures:
- develop social networks with other dads
- connect with their children together in fun activities
- recognise the important role they play in their family structure
Our programs all follow a loose format, which allows you to come and go depending on your schedule.
