💙 Why The Dad Space matters for Illawarra families
The Dad Space is all about giving fathers (and father figures) a chance to spend quality time together with their young children (birth to 6 yrs). Every Friday, we open up a safe, welcoming space where dads and kids can play, explore, and just enjoy being together.
It’s always fun—sometimes messy, sometimes loud, and never the same week twice! Along the way, dads get to connect with other dads, kids can make new friends, and families also benefit from the presence of friendly researchers and educators who work with children and families and have lots of activity ideas!
Come along, get involved, and make some great memories together 💫
