About this Event
🍂 Little Explorers: Fall Montessori Toddler Time
Ages 18 Months–3 Years | Hosted by Griot Garden
Join Griot Garden for an outdoor Montessori-inspired Toddler Time celebrating the wonders of fall through hands-on learning, purposeful play, and nature-based exploration!
Designed for toddlers ages 18 months to 3 years and their caregivers, this session offers a glimpse into the Montessori classroom experience through a thoughtfully prepared environment and engaging, seasonal activities. Little explorers will have the opportunity to practice practical life skills, strengthen coordination, develop concentration, and build confidence as they discover what their little hands can do.
From pumpkin scrubbing and leaf gluing to fall-themed pouring and scooping activities, toddlers will explore at their own pace while learning through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
Caregivers will also discover how to nurture independence beyond the session. Through Montessori-inspired guidance and practical tips, parents will learn how small changes to the home environment and everyday routines can empower toddlers to participate more actively in daily life, from helping with household tasks to caring for their own belongings.
