For the Love of Family

Being a “successful parent” means more than providing food, clothing, and shelter. It requires taking an active role in a child’s growth and development, and an active approach to parenting.

Our mission at Active Parenting Publishers (APP) is to support and prepare families through “every stage, every step” of their child’s development. We are also here to support and prepare parent educators “every stage, every step” in their efforts to provide the best programs possible to the families they serve.
