This study examined parents' engagement in learning activities with their preschool‐aged children and the frequency of that engagement during the COVID 19 pandemic. Participants in the study were from a midwestern state in the United States. Differences among parent engagement in learning activities with their children were found along a range of demographic and school program factors. Analysis revealed parents engaged with their children most frequently in activities that had structure and were skill involved, such as arts and crafts, playing video games, and completing science and math activities, though watching TV together was also a key activity. Significant differences among activity frequency and race/ethnicity and parent income level were revealed in the analysis. No significant differences were found among parents given their level of education, program type, location and delivery mode. Analysis of teachers' years of experience showed significant differences among parents' engagement in activities. Analysis revealed that parents of low income engaged significantly less with their children than their wealthier counterparts. Trial Registration: The study was not involving clinical trail
