A Personal Note from Dr. Dan Singley

This isn’t your typical parenting class — it’s a game-changer just for dads. Designed specifically for expectant fathers, this hands-on, no-fluff class covers everything you need to feel confident and prepared: from essential baby-care skills and birth prep tips to strategies for maintaining a strong partnership and prioritizing your own well-being in the transition to fatherhood.

We consistently hear from dads who leave the class feeling energized, empowered, and incredibly glad they showed up. If you take just one class before your baby arrives, make it this one.

Expect a relaxed, skills-based environment where you’ll connect with other expectant dads, get expert guidance, and learn directly from a “veteran dad” who’s recently been through it — baby in tow! You’ll see real-time demos of diapering, swaddling, soothing, and burping — and have the chance to ask questions and swap stories.

What Dad’s Class Attendees Say…

…I feel so much more prepared and equipped with helpful resources to navigate the rest of my wife’s pregnancy and beyond. This class is a must for expectant fathers. It helped me understand what I did not yet know (which was a lot), and then gave me the answers to those questions as well. It was practical, informative, but not in an overwhelming way. I especially loved that they had a veteran dad come in and speak to us about he and his wife’s pregnancy and postpartum experience 5 months out from his daughter being born. It…

Baby hand in dads hand
“The class gave me really useful information in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. I recommend it for all new dads.” (from class review form)

They did a great job walking through all of the expectant dads on a variety of topics from diaper changing to fathers mental well being. Finally some instruction for fathers. I highly recommend taking the time to go through this course if you are a expecting dad! (see original Yelp review)

Baby looking over dads shoulder
…They went over everything from changing diapers, to suggestions for your hospital bag, swaddling, having a birth plan, interviewing pediatricians, etc…. tons of helpful and useful information for new dads.  One of my favorite things about the class was going over questions that you would want to discuss with your partner, basically a “postpartum game plan”, it was super helpful because there were a bunch of questions that I didn’t even think to ask or consider.   The class was more than what I expected.  Highly recommended for new dads!
