Empower Families and Improve Outcomes for All Children
Low lift, evidence-based family engagement
Rooted in Research. Proven in Practice.
Accessible
Each week, enrolled families receive text messages with actionable insights, research-based activities, and learning extensions. More than 95% of families use text messaging, which makes it the best way to provide every family with year-round support. ParentPowered curricula is available in 10+ languages so no family is left out.
Strengths-Based
ParentPowered programs give families that “I can do it!” feeling by providing strengths based tips and simple activities that fit seamlessly into everyday moments. Our three curricula — Core, Trauma-Informed, and data-driven Personalized Learning — enable your organization to provide tailored support based on family need. Only ParentPowered offers curricula for families working to overcome the trauma of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and for families with children with potential developmental delays.
Low Lift
Enroll families in ParentPowered programs with just one click then sit back while we deliver weekly support that has been shown to result in as much as 2–3 months of additional learning growth over the course of a school year.
The ParentPowered Dashboard provides access to all the data you need to efficiently manage enrollment, assess the impact of the program, and produce presentation quality data visualizations for your team or external stakeholders. Plus, you can access family resources, teacher newsletters, workshop guides, enrollment flyers, and other ParentPowered resources.

What Partners Are Saying About ParentPowered
I think ParentPowered is the best approach to family and community engagement I have seen. I have worked at the state and federal level as well as in districts, and family engagement is very difficult to achieve in districts with high poverty, high at-risk populations or just in areas where people are very busy and not as able to go to the school for events.
ParentPowered gives everyone concrete strategies to help their children with both specific academic skills and social emotional skills. It also gives parents important developmental information about their children as well as encouragement for the tough job of parenting. It's actually one of the only things I have purchased, in my 35 years of work in education, that every time I get something, I say to myself "that is so good; I am so glad we use this!" I love what you are doing!
“We need to invest in things that parents don’t have to show up for, things that show up for parents in their homes.”
"We've all miscalculated how desperately families really wanted something like this."
"Parents really appreciate that it is simple, doesn't require anything additional, and stays on their phone."
"The biggest surprise was how easy the process was."
"ParentPowered is a great way to remind families that as a Catholic church, we're rooting for them."
“The ParentPowered program is a resource for families that is practical and will actually help them advance their child’s development not only academically but also socially and emotionally.”
“What I love about it is that I can send out messages like ‘we’ve got a meeting at this time and place.’ And they all get it — Boom.”
“It’s not something that you have to manage. I don’t have to worry about putting together the data. And I don’t have to formulate a report - I love that part.”
"I think ParentPowered fills a need that no other program I've been able to find to date can fill."
We’ve sent over 125 million ParentPowered messages to 900,000+ families with fun facts, easy tips, reinforcement, encouragement, and pedagogically-scaffolded extension activities to help parents support their children’s development by building on everyday learning opportunities.
