Summer may be winding down, but don’t fret. The good news is fall brings a whole new slate of family-focused fun and activities. Waterdown Village businesses are here for it!
Waterdown Village BIA Board of Management Chair, Amanda Groves commented, “Our local business community can help ease the transition from vacation mode to back-to-school and work routines, for all of the families in our community.”
Groves continued, “For starters, local salons can support you with a new look for new beginnings. Don’t forget to make an appointment with one of our several great salons or barbers for a fresh cut and style to tame the summer grow out.”
“We love helping students and parents untangle the back-to-school chaos with a clean cut or a fresh colour!” agreed Ashley, manager of Waterdown’s First Choice Haircutters. She added, “Walk-ins are always welcome!”
Locals who need to stock up for a return to brown-bagging it can visit a Waterdown Village grocery store or specialty food retailer for nutritious and delicious snacks, packable beverages and lunch supplies.
“Our shelves are loaded and ready for back-to-school. We also have everything you need to carry you through the end of BBQ season, making casual family dinners easy,” said Troy Ganci, Franchisee of Sobey’s in Waterdown.
Waterdown Village parents can also check out local tutoring businesses to help kids re-tune their study skills and up the grade in reading, writing, math and more.
Noel Jacob, from Scholars of Waterdown explained, "We’re excited to reconnect with families in Waterdown this fall and help kids build essential skills and habits that will set them up for success this school year and beyond. At Scholars of Waterdown, we focus on personalized tutoring and a supportive learning environment, ensuring every student can reach their full potential."
Parents will also want to consider one of the many businesses that help kids explore their creative side through dance, music, art, martial arts, etc.
After-school and weekend programs are great for de-stressing and Waterdown Village has a strong roster of creative outlets to challenge, inspire, encourage and motivate.
“September marks the start of our 2024/2025 season at Waterdown Dancers Inc and we’re excited to have our studios filled once again with laughter, happiness and dance,” said Julie Vollick, co-owner of Waterdown Dancers Inc.
“We offer a number of different programs for both children and adults of all skills and levels and look forward to an incredible season with the addition of new classes and studio upgrades!”
