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.

  • An Intimate Approach

    We have a 1:7 teacher to learner ratio which helps us to ensure that each learner is getting customized education and support.

  • Quality Pedagogy

    Directed by a certified K-8 teacher and an experienced outdoor educator, SFS utilizes curriculum from “Exploring Nature with Children” and “The Habitat Schoolhouse Curriculum”.

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

-Stephen Moss
