Cassidy Barnes

As a former Special Educator with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and a Master’s in Education with Behavior Analysis and Autism Concentration, she witnessed a major gap in what was being asked to provide in the curriculum versus what was actually needed to set-up kids to win for life.

After graduating from Ascension Leadership Academy in 2019, she realized what would fill that gap: expanding on emotional intelligence, regulation and leadership skills.

She started a microschool for preschool-aged children that prioritized foundational “human skills” such as love, kindness, generosity, integrity and empathy. She supported families with learning to understand what makes their kid special, and how to be a steward for the greatness that lies in each child.

She has always felt a deep calling to be of service to humanity. The getting is in the giving, and being a guide for others to come home to their most authentic self is the most fulfilling act one can take.

Now, she lives in Laguna Beach with her husband (they met as coaches for ALA!) while they plan to continue standing for a transformed world by expanding this work into Orange County, California! More to be revealed…
