Wildly Inclusive Learning Collective

Registration is OPEN for the 2026/2027 program year at Wildly Inclusive Agile Learning Center!

If you have been searching for something different — truly different — this is it.

WI ALC is not a traditional school. There are no rigid schedules, no standardized tests, no compliance-based discipline, and no one telling your child to sit down, be quiet, and conform. Instead there is trust. There is community. There is joy. There is a team of facilitators who are 100% neurodivergent, 60% nonbinary, and 60% BIPOC — people who genuinely understand your child because many of them have lived their experience.

At WI ALC your child gets to:
✨ Direct their own learning
✨ Follow their passions and curiosity
✨ Build real community with peers and caring adults
✨ Feel genuinely safe — emotionally, physically, and neurologically
✨ Be celebrated for exactly who they are

WE BELIEVE CHILDREN ARE PEOPLE. And every one of them deserves an education that honors exactly who they are.

Every child deserves a caregiver who shows up for them; fully, proudly, and without conditions. Organizations like Dragon Dads remind us that support and representation aren't just nice to have, they are life-saving. When LGBTQ+ youth see themselves loved and celebrated by the adults in their lives, everything changes. We are proud to stand alongside every organization, family, and community member building that world. 🏳️‍🌈

Dragon Dads is growing 🐉
Supporting LGBTQIA+ youth takes a whole community—not just families, but chosen family and people who care deeply.

We’re welcoming dads, parents, caregivers, and members of the q***r community who are ready to show up, learn, and advocate.

If support is needed, we’re here.

Talking about ICE can feel heavy and overwhelming—for adults and kids. This list is meant to help families start honest, age-appropriate conversations rooted in truth, compassion, and safety.

There is a lot of fear and misinformation right now. Our goal is not to scare children, but to help them understand what’s happening in the world in a way that centers humanity, dignity, and care for one another.

We support our community. We support immigrant families. We support children having the language and tools to ask questions, express feelings, and know they are not alone.

If you’re navigating these conversations at home, use this list as a guide, go at your child’s pace, and remind them that community means we look out for each other—especially in uncertain times. 💛

You don’t have to do this alone. We’re here with you.

We wrapped up our final ALC day of 2025 with curiosity, joy, and hands-on learning as our learners explored a real fire truck brought by the Eno Fire Department.

From asking big questions to climbing aboard and learning how community helpers keep us safe, this experience was a perfect example of learner-led exploration in action. We’re so grateful to the firefighters who took the time to connect, share, and spark wonder on such a meaningful day.

Ending the year with community, curiosity, and connection feels just right. 💛🔥

We'll see you in 2026 🎉
