About Wild Child Play Inc

Wild Child Play Inc is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates an arts-focused playspace and early-childhood program model. The organization runs pop-up playspaces, camps, after-school enrichment and party programming that use art and sensory play as core learning modalities. The organization was formed in 2019 and received federal tax‑exempt status in late 2021. In recent years it has grown into a small operating organization (multi-hundred-thousand-dollar annual budget) delivering tuition-supported program services while maintaining public Form 990 filings. Wild Child’s public website lists current operations in the East Bay (Oakland) while its incorporation/filing history and registration have connections to San Francisco; it continues to present itself as a community play-and-learning provider for families with young children.
