Your New Back to School Routine Made Easy

It’s time for kids to get back to school – wherever that may be! For many kids (and parents!), school, and the schedule, is looking a little different this year. So that’s why it’s more important than ever to help them get into a healthy routine. PREIT’s retailers are here to help your family get back at it!

No recess? No problem. Get your kids’ athletic wear from stores like The Children’s Place at Springfield Town Center or Dick’s Sporting Goods at Plymouth Meeting Mall. Let them run around in brand new sneakers from retailers like Kids Foot Locker at Willow Grove Park and Nike Factory Store at Fashion District Philadelphia. Staying active and exercising can help reduce stress, improve mood, and stay focused.

Fuel their school day with healthy snacks and lunch. Macy’s at Patrick Henry Mall and JCPenney at Capital City Mall have cookware, lunch boxes, and small appliances that will make packing lunch a breeze. If your kids don’t like to eat their vegetables, shop for vitamins to supplement their diet from GNC at Dartmouth Mall.

When it comes to staying organized, sometimes the little things can make a huge difference. Keep track of all their school supplies and assignments with the help of storage solutions from The Container Store at Cherry Hill Mall and daily planners from Barnes & Noble at Magnolia Mall or Target at The Mall at Prince Georges. Being well organized can help your whole day run more smoothly!
