Abstract

The Monterey County Office of Education Head Start & Early Head Start Family & Community Engagement service has identified the need for father involvement in early childhood education. With a very meaningful purpose “Padres Bien Padres, Very Cool Dads”, was started. Four workshops were given to male role models to support parenting engagement with their children. In addition, professional development training was provided to head start Policy Council to raise awareness of the “Padres Bien Padres, Very Cool Dad’s” program and share different ideas and activities to improve and encourage fathers to participate in head start. The Policy Council members increased their knowledge about the program and suggested improvements for the future of the program and shared ideas to engage fathers. It is recommended that MCOE Head Start & Early Head Start continues to prioritize father engagement for the well being of the children.
