Preparing young minds for lifelong learning through play, exploration, and connection in the natural world.

A Unique Early Education Experience

  • Learning from Nature, in Nature

    SFS offers a fully immersive outdoor program at Sweet Mercy Farm - located near the Glenrose Nature Preserve in Spokane, WA. Children interact with the land, animals, and vegetation all while preparing for lifelong learning through play and exploration.

  • The Power of PLAY

    We believe in the power of play and its ability to instill confidence, creativity, and resiliency in learners. We follow our learner’s curiosity and equip them with basic outdoor skills.

  • Quality Pedagogy

    Directed by a K-8 teacher and an experienced bilingual outdoor educator, SFS utilizes curriculum from “Exploring Nature with Children” and teaches students in English and Spanish.

“Nature is a tool to get children to experience not just the wider world, but themselves.”

-Stephen Moss
