A National Dads Matter!™ Project Father
For Schools, Programs, and Parents
The Down To Earth Dad®, a national organization founded in 1999 to help programs, schools, parents, and policymakers enhance children's cognitive, social, and emotional development—in the early years and beyond—provides tried-and-tested services and products that optimize male involvement in schools, homes, and communities across America.
The Down To Earth Dad® helps educators and child-and-family advocates optimize positive outcomes for children by celebrating father involvement where it is present, and “beefing up" male involvement where it is absent.
Popular Down To Earth Dad® services and products include staff trainings and keynotes, a parent involvement and literacy-enhancement event called Family Storytelling Night®, and "The Original" Down To Earth Dad parent newsletter for programs and schools—proven successful for 11 years (see testimonials).
