Table entries are frequencies (%)
^a Calculated by dividing (PPP) by number of activities offered
^b PD Positive deviant parent defined as participating in 75% or more of available activity types
^c Column percentages are proportion of PD or non-PD parents participating in the listed activity
^d Take home activity packs that aligned with classroom lessons/activities to be completed by parent with child and signed completion verification returned to school.^* Chi Square between activity participation or not and Positive Deviant status p <0.05
^** Chi Square between activity participation or not and Positive Deviant status p < 0.001
