Wonderfully Made by Ally is a private, in-home human sexuality education workshop designed for fifth and sixth grade boys and girls. Led by longtime youth and children’s educator Allyson George, the program offers a warm, age-appropriate, and highly personal approach to learning about physical development, emotional health, and responsible decision-making. With over 15 years of experience teaching this material, and nearly 25 years in family and youth education, Allyson brings both expertise and compassion to every session. Hosting the class in the comfort of a family home offers a sense of privacy and trust, and gives kids the freedom to engage in a safe, supportive environment.
The curriculum is presented from a Christian perspective and is rooted in the belief that every child is wonderfully made and that sexuality is a gift to be understood with wisdom, respect, and responsibility. The workshop provides medically accurate, age-appropriate information while encouraging healthy conversations between parents and children. It helps students navigate peer pressure, media influence, and social stereotypes, while reinforcing parents as the primary source of guidance and support. The focus is on building confidence, character, and healthy decision-making rather than fear or shame.
