What will your child remember most about this summer?

The July edition of Fatherhood Times explores how simple moments of play can help children build confidence, trust, and stronger connections with the fathers and caring adults in their lives. Inside, you’ll find practical ideas for expectant fathers, parents of infants and toddlers, and families with children ages 3–5.

The newsletter is available in English and Spanish. Take a few minutes to read it, share it, and tag a father, grandfather, uncle, or positive male figure who is making a difference.

Every laugh, every game, and every shared moment says: “I’m here with you.”

Fathers Matter.
Research continues to show what families already know: when fathers are present, intentional, and engaged, young children thrive. From reading and play to emotional coaching and daily routines, dads bring something powerful and unique to their child’s development.

In the latest Our Town digital publication, Michael Cupeles highlights how even small, consistent moments—15 minutes of focused attention—can strengthen bonds and support children’s language, emotional, and academic growth.

At New Jersey Head Start, we celebrate and support fathers and father figures as essential partners in early learning and lifelong success.
