If you have a partner who’s a new dad (or you know one), you’ve probably seen it - how becoming a father changes everything, but there aren’t many spaces for men to talk about it openly.

4-week series or drop in any Saturday
Babies welcome (and encouraged!)
Relaxed environment—come as you are
Light weekly themes to spark conversation
Real talk with other dads who get it!
Saturdays at Little Seeds, Lafayette
$120 for 4 weeks | $30 drop-in
Book here: https://www.littleseedsfamily.com/dads-group or at the link in our bio!

Whether it’s tips, camaraderie, or just a reason to get out of the house with your baby, this group is here for the dads.

Please feel free to share this with a dad you love, because when fathers feel supported, the whole family benefits!
