Dads 101: The First Step to Becoming the Father You Want to Be

Build confidence. Gain practical skills. Step into fatherhood with purpose.

When you participate in Dads 101, you’re not just gaining knowledge—you’re earning rewards! Each time you attend a class, you’ll receive credit to spend in the SMPC Baby Boutique, where you can “shop” for the items your baby needs.

You Want to Be a Good Dad. We’ll Help You Get There.

You’ve just found out you’re going to be a dad. Now what?

Maybe you're excited. Maybe you're nervous. Maybe you're both.


At SMPC, we believe every dad deserves support—right from the start.

That’s why we created Dads 101, the first class in our fatherhood program. It’s designed to help you navigate the journey from pregnancy to delivery and beyond—with practical tools, real conversations, and honest encouragement.

In Dads 101, You’ll Learn & Earn

  • What to expect during pregnancy so you can support your partner with confidence.

  • What happens at the hospital—from delivery room roles to calming your newborn.

  • How to change a diaper, hold a baby, and soothe a cry—hands-on practice that prepares you for real-life parenting.

  • How to show up as a strong, steady, encouraging presence for your child.

  • Earn points for every class - Each session you attend adds points to your account to shop in our Baby Boutique.

  • Provide for your family - Our goal is to help you grow as a dad while giving you practical support for your new baby.

Because when you invest time in becoming the best dad you can be, we want to invest in you and your family too.

You won't be lectured. You won't be judged.

You’ll be part of a supportive space where you can ask questions, get answers, and grow with other dads just like you.
