Back-to-school season brings excitement, change, and—let’s be honest—a little stress for parents and young children alike. Whether your child is starting daycare, preschool, or returning to the classroom, these moments are opportunities to build confidence, strengthen routines, and deepen your connection as a family. At AP-OD, we honor and support parents as leaders and their child’s first and most important teacher. That’s why we’ve gathered a list of trusted and practical resources to help you navigate school transitions, ease morning routines, and ensure your family feels supported every step of the way.
