Seasons of Change:

As Miss Maple gazes out across the land below, she whispers "Take care, my little ones, for the world is big and you are small. But never forget... even the grandest of trees once had to grow up from the smallest of seeds." -Miss Maple by: Eliza Wheeler

​
​​​Seeds
(3-4 year olds, first year)

Spinning down from the parent trees these winged seeds gently land on the rich soil in The Secret Forest. It is here where they will nestle in as they begin a new journey. 

​
​​Sprouts
​(4-5 year olds, second year)

As seeds transform into sprouts their unique characteristics are already showing. Sprouts are small but strong and are good at finding the light that helps them grow. When the time is right these little sprouts will be transplanted
​in new soil. 

​
​Saplings
(5-6 year olds, third year)

With the passing of the seasons young sprouts grow taller and become saplings. While a sapling's roots keep them connected to the earth their branches stretch towards the sky above and they change in big ways.

​
Mighty Maples
​(6 year olds and beyond)

These mature Maples are mighty and wise. They have come to learn many lessons from The Secret Forest. These trees appreciate the beauty of the seasons and use their canopy to protect and shelter others.
