How It Works
How Present Tense Works
For Parents
1. Join the platform. Choose a Parent Membership or apply for free access if you're currently unemployed or income-verified low-income. Both paths give you full access to the Fatherhood and Motherhood Engagement Hubs.
2. Start your skill track. Each hub has structured tracks: short, practical lessons you can complete on your phone. Each lesson is designed to demonstrate active engagement, not just attendance.
3. Build your progress record. Every completed lesson generates a timestamped record. Share it with your caseworker, attorney, or family court at any time. The record is yours to own and present.
4. Connect with community. The hubs include peer community spaces, the Ahimsa Marketplace for parenting tools, and the Inkwell Reading Room for books and workbooks — everything in one place.
For Institutions
1. Request a license. Institutional Licenses cover unlimited participants (Enterprise) or up to 50 active participants (Starter) under a site license. Pricing is 10 to 15 percent below comparable curriculum kits from established providers.
2. Deploy to your caseload. Parents enroll through your program link. You see their progress in the outcome reporting dashboard. Reports are formatted for quarterly court filings and federal compliance documentation.
3. Submit Daddy's Chariot credentialing. Our nonprofit arm validates the curriculum for family court submissions. Judges and caseworkers in participating jurisdictions already recognize the credential.
