The Pre-school Learning Alliance has launched a series of new resources to help early years workers get fathers involved.
They include a half-day workshop to help get dads involved with their children’s learning, a dedicated web page and a wall planner to highlight the importance of fathers.
The workshop will help early years workers look at why dads find it difficult to get involved with nurseries and pre-schools, and ways to increase their participation.
Tim Kahn, inclusion officer at the alliance, said: “Despite the fact practitioners say they want fathers to be involved in early years settings, nurseries and pre-schools continue to remain predominantly female spaces.
“The alliance has been actively involved in carrying out research and developing effective practice in the important area of engaging with fathers in early years settings.”
The wall planner aims to encourage partnership working with dads and includes photos of fathers with their children and quotes along with success stories from settings which have increased their work with fathers.
