The first day of school is fast approaching for families with little ones. Tuesday September 8th, 2026 is just around the corner.
Between getting dressed, packing lunches, searching for the missing match to those rain boots, and making it out the door on time, the back-to-school routine is weighing heavy on our minds. Luckily, life at Little Mountain means many of the daily family necessities are easier to get to by being so close to home.
Just outside of Little Mountain’s doorsteps is a trove of local, owner-operated boutiques and neighbourhood shops offering thoughtfully curated essentials for little ones. Whether you’re preparing for the first day or realizing at 8:15 a.m. that someone has outgrown their shoes overnight, having these stores nearby makes family life that much easier.
From clothing and footwear, to school and art supplies, there are plenty of neighbourhood options for those last minute back-to-school finds.
For clothing and kid’s essentials, check out: Beansprouts, Little Treasures Kids, Westcoast Kids, and Hallux Footwear
For the little creatives, neighbourhood favourites such as Collage Collage, Urban Source, and Regional Assembly of Text offer plenty of inspiration for art projects, stationery and school supplies.
When it comes to those everyday essentials – backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, school uniforms, rain boots, rain pants or suits and name labels – having everything closer to home means less time spent driving around the city and more time at home with family.
Of course, the first day of school isn’t just about being prepared. It’s a big milestone for little ones — and for parents, too.
Before heading out the door, tuck a small family photo into their backpack or lunch bag. On those moments when they miss home, a familiar face can be a comforting reminder that you’re never far away.
Because that’s part of the appeal of living at Little Mountain: the little things that make everyday family life easier are right around the corner.
