Events

We've built a reputation for hosting some of the best (and cutest) events in Noe Valley. Tilly’s Tots hosts and plans about 7 events during the school year, and 2 events during the summer. With our small class sizes, it’s easy to meet and befriend the families of your child’s classmates.

Events at Tilly's Tots

Tilly’s Tots goes to wine country! | June ‘26

We pulled off our first trip to wine country thanks to the help of momma Lauren and the Gaynor’s. Our San Francisco babies got some sun, and we doubled the party with Coco’s birthday celebration. Teacher Joii and Tilly (pictured here) were excited to spend time with our tots outside of school.

Teacher Pot Luck! | April ‘26

A lovely birthday party with the best teachers: Ana, Stacy, Maddy, Angel, and Joii.

Easter Eggstraveganza | March ‘26

Every year, our egg hunting crew grows bigger and bigger as this is one of our many alumni and friends event.

Valentine’s Event | February ‘26

Our annual Palentine’s event filled with hearts and love for all of our sweet tots!

Our Annual Halloween Party | October ‘25

Our in-house superstar mom, Taylor, took over events while Tilly took an extended health leave in 2025. Because of the support and contributions of our amazing staff and parents, the children were able to celebrate one of their favorite holidays despite the absence of their Director. This will forever be the most special Tilly’s event - not because of the costumes, catering, or fanfare - but because of the phenomenal community that pitched in when one of our team members was down. (Taylor, no words will ever convey how grateful I am to you for taking the reins when I physically could not function in 2025 - I love your family to pieces!!!)

People gather outdoors at a park with a playground, participating in an Easter egg hunt. Children collect colorful plastic eggs on the artificial grass, while adults watch and take photos. The background shows trees, a skate park, and residential buildings under a cloudy sky.

EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA

Our Easter Eggstravaganza is always one for the books. Every year, we unleash hundreds of eggs for our tots to find. Siblings, alum, and friends are always welcome to join our most thrilling event of the year.

Group of people including children in costumes and adults gathered outside a building with decorative fall leaves and neon signs in the window. Toys and strollers are visible in the foreground.

HALLOWEEN EVENT

Every year for Halloween, our families and pets meet up at the preschool for our trick-or-treating pregame. After pictures and snacks, we take to the streets in our strollers and wagons for some trick-or-treating fun. We go down 24th and up Sanchez. Our Tilly’s Tots alum usually join in— it’s our favorite Tilly’s Tots tradition!

Two young children, a girl in a pink sweatshirt and black skirt and a boy in a green jacket, are holding hands and smiling as they stand in front of a large inflatable turkey dressed as a pilgrim. The inflatable turkey wears a blue pilgrim hat with a red band, has big eyes, and a sign on its chest that says, 'WANT PIECE OF ME?' The scene is outdoors on a concrete sidewalk with two wooden benches, a metal trash can, and a wooden fence in the background.

THANKSGIVING SEASON

Thankful for the outdoor decor budget at Tilly’s Tots.

A woman with dark hair and a red dress is smiling, kneeling beside two young children at a piano. The children, one with blonde hair and wearing a green sweater, and the other with light brown hair and wearing a beige hoodie, are engaged with the piano. The scene appears to be indoors, with a glass door behind them and a stroller to the left.

CHRISTMAS EVENT

We love to lean into the spirit of giving each Christmas. Every year for our Christmas event, we host a fundraiser at Manny’s to help our community. This year we partnered with Urban Angels to raise funds and collect gifts for over 1500 children San Francisco children experiencing homelessness.
