Meet Our Team

Amanda Deering - Director of Operations and Strategy
Hello, my name is Amanda!   I grew up in the Bay Area and just returned after living in New York for a few years.  I have been working with children for over 10 years and am inspired by their curiosity and creativity.  My passion for working with children and understanding the learning process led me to study psychology at UCLA and complete my Masters in Education at the Teachers College at Columbia University.   I have worked with children and their families as a behavioral therapist, art teacher, kids yoga teacher and Montessori teacher.  I am excited to be a part of a community that allows kids to be kids!  In my free time you can likely find me on a hiking trail, a yoga mat or a music venue.  I am excited to see these beautiful souls grow!
