Parent-to-Parent: Favorite sites to keep the learning going

Like you, many PEMCO team members are balancing work from home while they try to keep their kids academically engaged until schools reopen. They shared some great resources to support each other, and we thought you'd like them, too.

All-in-one site

Amazing Educational Resources. Start here! You'll find scores of free educational sites for preschoolers through college-age students.

For scientists

Pacific Science Center. Although PSC is closed, you can check out plenty of activities, experiments and cool videos.

For budding readers and mathematicians

ABC Mouse. If you have a pre-K to second-grade student, you may be able to use ABC Mouse for free (check with your school district for your school's code). Or, if you don't have a code, the site offers a free 30-day trial.

For chefs

Milk Street Cooking School. Get the whole family in the kitchen! Milk Street Cooking School is offering free classes through April 30.
