Countdown to Father’s Day

DAD HOUR

Your baby wants you to be happy.

Your partner wants you to be happy.

And we want you to be happy too.

Dad Hour is back this Thursday June 18th @ 5 pm at the beautiful play facilities at Step-by-Step in Santa Monica.

Pizza and Beer! Bananas and juice! And good times for all.

Watch your kids play, and celebrate with other dads.

Free self-parking inside the building - info with RSVP!

A Dad Hour Slow Jam:

Early Engagement supports new fathers at a key moment in their lives, when they have the chance to build the foundation for their child’s learning.

We have been growing for a decade and have plans to keep reaching more dads.

Please consider making a donation to support our work.

Step by Step, 1334 Lincoln Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401
There is free parking, accessible from the alley (with an entrance at Arizona Ave and 7th Ct.) More details when you RSVP.
Dad Hour is for dads and their kids 0-3. We will be in a big playroom at Step-by-Step full of foam toys, play structures, and environments to unleash their imagination. Dads can play along and relax.
Early Engagement supports new fathers at a key moment in their life and the growth of their child. We provide in-person experiences (Dad Time), Pre-birth parenting orientation, and educational programs and experiences focused on awareness of and support for the unique aspects of Father Parenting
One of the most import things we do is connect new dads into Dad Teams, giving them a supportive cohort while they navigate this period which is so crucial to them, their child, and their relationship with their parenting partner.
We know our programs help young children by supporting their dads.
We’re starting to raise money to expand the in-person sessions we offer to more dads in more places.
