We partner with families to develop confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.

​The Learner Agency is a neighborhood center where 5-12 year-olds engage with coaches who help them set goals, build math and literacy skills on personalized educational software, and collaborate on interactive design challenges. Families get insight about each child’s ongoing progress and guidance for navigating the learning ecosystems of school, home, and community.

Autumn entered the world of education as an early childhood educator and fell in love with the field. She has always had a passion for working with children. Growing up she often took on mentor roles, such as teaching dance classes, and a summer job teaching children with learning disabilities to read. Recently, Autumn embarked on a new journey as a behavioral therapist for Mt. Diablo school district which has allowed her to explore a new way of facilitating learning.  She’s taking a sewing class because she would love to design her own clothes one day.
