We empower parents with research-based educational essentials, making it easier to actively support their child’s learning journey.
As a parent, you want to support your child’s learning journey, but you may lack access to essentials. EDssentials empowers parents with the information, resources, and connections needed to actively manage and advocate for their children’s education.
According to a report by the National PTA (2020), students with actively engaged parents are more likely to achieve higher grades, attend school regularly, exhibit better social skills, and pursue higher education.
We Understand Your Challenges as a Parent
The support parents need to thrive
1
Finding the Right Learning Materials
Imagine trying to help your child with their schoolwork, but the resources you have don't quite match what they're learning in class. Many families, especially those in communities without a lot of resources, struggle to find proven, research-based learning materials that align with their child's curriculum. This can make it incredibly difficult to support their learning effectively at home.
2
Homeschooling-Specific Challenges
For our homeschooling families, this challenge is even more pronounced. A significant number of homeschooling parents—40% in fact—report difficulty finding high-quality instructional materials. We know how crucial it is to have the right tools to create a comprehensive and effective learning plan for your child, and the struggle to find them can be incredibly frustrating.
3
Having a Strong Social Support System
Parenting is a journey best traveled with support. When you don't have a strong network of family, friends, or community groups, it can feel isolating. It becomes much harder to get the advice you need to understand school systems, effectively advocate for your child's needs (especially for children with diverse abilities), or even just find the time and guidance for homework help. This isolation can make it challenging to stay on top of school communications, attend parent-teacher conferences, or simply know how to best support your child's unique learning journey. We believe every parent deserves to feel empowered and connected. That's why our programming is designed to directly address these challenges, providing you with the resources and support you need to confidently guide your child's education.
