Back to School and Your Regular Routine

And in the blink of an eye, summer has passed all too soon. As we settle into September, it is imperative to embrace the changing of seasons, and just as well, the return to classrooms and your regular routines. This is a time for transformation and education that can be as daunting as it is exciting, but Willow Park Village is here to help. While the leaves begin to fall and the school bells begin to toll, the variety of shops and services at Willow Park Village make it the perfect stop to begin checking off the many items on your ever-growing list of deliverables that ensure you have a successful year ahead.

California Tan

As we venture into fall, the UV Index and the temperature begin their seasonal decline, it’s time to think about how to keep that summer glow! Perhaps those summer days spent tanning outdoors have been quelled by the time commitment of school studies? Do you want to maintain your base-tan for that warm winter vacation? Luckily, California Tan at Willow Park Village possesses the solutions to your problems. Visit their location for great rates on first-class tanning beds, spray tan, red light therapy, laser hair removal and more – open seven days a week to work around your busy schedule.

Code Ninjas

While your kiddos are back in their teachers’ care till 3 p.m. during the week, there is still the two-hour-gap where after school care must be considered. We recommend Code Ninjas in Willow Park Village – a place where kids come to build video games, gain skills, learn to code, and most importantly, have fun. Code Ninjas offers an assortment of programs and camps for children ages 5-14 based on their age and interests. Opt for the Code Ninjas ‘Parents Night Out’ program and give yourself a night on the town while your children can learn and play.

Harp Hearing Care

While hearing loss in adults is something we become more conscious of as we get older, oftentimes many children will experience hearing loss without much external notice. In fact, they may not even be aware of such hearing loss themselves. Unfortunately, this may result in lost instruction, trouble communicating in the classroom and a delay in cognitive development. Bring your children (and the rest of the family) to Harp Hearing Care in Willow Park Village for a free comprehensive hearing assessment. Harp offers hearing aids from all major manufacturers to meet your lifestyle and budget, with the latest technology and most discreet products available. For the budding musician or band students in your home, Harp also offers custom ear molds for proactive prevention of hearing loss. Contact Harp today to book your appointment.
