A new free parenting app for families is helping parents feel more confident, connected, and supported right from their phones. Parent Pathways Academy (PPA), a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening families through education and community, has launched a mobile app filled with expert guidance, age-based learning paths, and a growing parent community. And it’s all free.

“This app makes parenting easier and more connected,” said Tracy Harrelson, Executive Director of Parent Pathways Academy. “We’re putting expert advice and emotional health support right into parents’ hands - completely free and ready when they need it.”

What’s Inside the PPA App?

* Age-Based Learning Pathways: Tailored support from birth to young adulthood

* Parenting Courses Online: Self-paced video lessons on academics, emotional wellness, digital safety, and more

* Community Connection: Join other families to share tips, celebrate progress, and ask questions

* Motivating Milestones: Parents earn badges and track growth across topics

Whether you're a new parent, a homeschooler looking for structure, or just trying to keep up with screen time boundaries, this app meets you where you are - with warmth, clarity, and zero judgment.

“Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but this app comes close,” said Jennifer Stephens, Ed.S., Dean of Education at Parent Pathways Academy. “It’s like having a free coach in your pocket.”
