Fall in Richmond, BC brings crisp mornings, golden leaves, and the excitement of harvest time. At Royal Academy, we believe the season is more than a change in weather—it’s a chance to spark curiosity through meaningful fall activities for young children.
From infants to preschoolers, every child in our Montessori and Reggio-Emilia-inspired programs experiences autumn as a living classroom filled with colour, texture, and discovery.
Exploring the Season Of Fall Together
This month, our teachers are guiding children through fun fall-inspired activities such as:
- The Turning of the Season: Children will notice shorter days, cooler weather, and leaves shifting from green to gold. Using a Montessori lens, they’ll explore why leaves change colour and connect this transformation to science and art.
- Pumpkins & Harvest Time: From seed to sprout to bright orange pumpkin, children will experience harvest in ways they can touch, taste, and explore. Our Edible Garden program makes this learning come alive, helping children understand where food comes from and why it matters Royal Academy Website Updates.
- Discovering Gourds: Through a Reggio-inspired approach, children will handle gourds of every shape and size—sorting, counting, painting, and creating art that celebrates their textures and patterns.
Why Use Montessori & Reggio for Fun Fall Activities For Young Children?
Unlike more traditional programs, our blend of Montessori and Reggio-Emilia-inspired philosophies encourages children to lead their own discoveries. In Richmond’s vibrant fall season, this means:
- Little hands tracing leaf veins with magnifiers.
- Friends working together to build a harvest display from natural materials.
- Teachers documenting learning with photos and notes so families can see the process, not just the product.
This approach nurtures curiosity, independence, and collaboration—skills that will serve children long after the leaves have fallen.

By weaving seasonal themes into our Montessori and Reggio-inspired curriculum, we connect children to the beauty of nature, the rhythm of the seasons, and the joy of shared discovery.
We invite Richmond families to join us in celebrating the wonders of fall. Take a walk together, collect leaves, carve a pumpkin—or better yet, book a tour and see how your child can thrive in an environment where they can learn, play, and explore every season.
