A fathers involvment in childs upbringing is increasing. Research reveal how important fathers involvment, delicate support and encouragment in early life years is, in development of childs emotional, moral, social and intelectual potentials. Fathers, as equal parents, are faced with numerous challenges and often very high expectations. Therefore, they require additional, professionall support in raising a child. The idea of this work is to present fathers contribution in childs raising and development and emphasize the importance of providing support through different programmes. The paper presents a support program for parenting intended at strengthening the father's involvement in the upbringing of the „Klub očeva Rastimo zajedno“ together with the results of his evaluation on a group of 117 fathers of early and pre-school children in Croatia. The focus of interest is the research questions relating to the father's perceived gains from the program, both for themselves and their children. Displayed through this paper are replies of fathers who took part in programme of supporting fathers of children of pree-school age "Klub očeva Rastimo zajedno". The questions were adressed to fathers and their children through participation in programme. The results of content analysis show that through participation in programme activities of "Klub očeva", fathers, by trading experiences withe each other, recieve new knowledges about the fthers role in early childhood and promotion of childs development. They also gain insight in the importance of participation in raising a child and the siginficance of understanding childs needs and feelings. They reconsider their own role as fathers, assess effective ways on how to deal with the requirements of parenthood and change their behaviours to achieve greater inclusion and availability to their child.
