Widely Inclusive Learning Collective
At the heart of our work is the belief that every person, regardless of age, ability, or neurotype, deserves access to education that honors who they are. Through our Education Program, we extend that impact nationally, equipping teachers, caregivers, and organizations with the knowledge, tools, and resources to create genuinely inclusive spaces.
We are committed to educating and equipping our broader community to become meaningfully neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQ+-affirming, and BIPOC-affirming, building a network of safe, celebratory spaces where every person is not just tolerated, but truly seen, valued, and welcomed.
Wildly Inclusive ALC is a part-time, alternative education Agile Learning Center located at the Old Murphey School. We operate Monday-Friday, 9 am-1 pm, with 1 to 5 day options. Parents and children alike help create and maintain our learning spaces. For families who do not have the ability to volunteer monthly, there is an option to opt out of participation with higher tuition. Widely Inclusive is a certified ESA+ provider.

Amber Baum
For nearly 16 years, I've worked in the child welfare field, including foster care, supporting children and families through difficult and complex situations. Throughout those years, I began noticing the gaps that can exist within traditional systems when it comes to helping children truly feel safe, connected, regulated, and supported.
While traditional therapies and services are incredibly important, many children — especially those experiencing trauma, neurodivergency, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or foster care involvement — often benefit from additional supportive environments where they can slow down and simply be children.
That realization led me to create Gentle Hooves and the experiences we offer here on the farm.
We are not therapy, and do not replace clinical services. Instead, our programs are built around a therapeutic, trauma-informed model designed to complement traditional supports through connection with animals, nature, creativity, mindfulness, and gentle social experiences.
Everything we create here is rooted in compassion, emotional safety, inclusion, and the belief that healing and growth can happen in the quiet, meaningful moments too.
