Tools and Services to Help Empower Parents

National PTA wants to empower every parent to be able to best support their child’s needs and give them what they need to learn and thrive as they grow.

We teamed up with several businesses that offer tools and services that families can use to help their child reach their full potential.

Get support at home with these resources.

APA’s Magination Press

An imprint of the American Psychological Association, Magination Press® publishes books that help kids and teens grow in socially and emotionally healthy ways—from everyday topics like building self-esteem and learning to be mindful to more complex topics like identity, social justice, and trauma. Most Magination Press books include an expert-written note with practical advice and suggested activities for parents, caregivers, or teachers.

Additional Info

Internet Essentials from Comcast is proud to support partners who apply for ECF. Eligible applicants can obtain high-speed Internet service on behalf of their students, school staff, and library patrons using ECF through our acclaimed Internet Essentials Partnership Program (IEPP). Leveraging IEPP, we have a streamlined process for eligible partners to seek ECF funds and quickly connect individuals in need to broadband access at home.
