ABOUT US
The people behind Maple Sprouts Forest School:

Megan Holloway
Owner/Forest Teacher
Megan grew up in Winthrop, NY. She moved to the Adirondacks and worked at Lakeside School at Black Kettle Farm for 2 years in Essex, NY after graduating from SUNY Potsdam. She has always had a passion for working with children and at Lakeside she found a deep connection with the Farm and Forest Kindergarten model that they used. Her goal is to bring this wonderful outdoor schooling experience to children here in the St. Lawrence Valley, especially now that she has a little one of her own.
