Sensory and Autism Friendly Santa Event December 7, 2024

All children are welcome at this event. It is designed to be especially welcoming to children with autism and sensory challenges.

Families will have the chance to meet Santa without long lines, in a quiet and calm environment. A limited number of children will be in the room with Santa at one time. Kids can get as close to Santa as they want, or keep their distance. Parents may take their own pictures (there will not be a professional photographer at the event). The $5 admission fee covers the whole family and includes time with Santa and a $5 coupon to The General Store at Cornerstone Montclair, located in the first floor of the building.

To register, choose your preferred time from the half hour time slots offered. You only need to register one time slot per family, multiple children per family is fine!

If you do not live close by, you may sign up for a virtual meeting with Santa. These virtual meetings will only happen during the 3:30-4pm time slot. Please email us at [email protected] if you want a virtual meeting.

We are excited to share that Santa will once again be played by Dr. Kerry Magro! Kerry is an award-winning professional speaker and best-selling author who's on the autism spectrum.
