Good nutrition habits that are formed early help establish a foundation for a kiddo's future as a strong, healthy and happy adult. After working on reshaping adult's eating habits for the past 7 years, I'm excited for the opportunity to provide Mainspring students with meals created to boost their brain power and fuel their growth.

I enjoy working at Mainspring because it allows the freedom to creatively express and explore the children’s interests, passions, and imaginations through art and play.

During my own parenting adventure, I have discovered just how much support is needed to be able to be the best parent you can be and to provide a solid foundation for your child to build their future upon. I am so grateful to be a part of that support for our Mainspring families. Here, it's not just child care, it's whole-family care.

My educational background is in developmental psychology and social work. Since 2012, my focus has been on improving the well-being of children and families around the globe, and it’s my honor to join this community to serve as an ally of our families’ diversified needs. There is one important constant in my life: seeing the world through an early education equity lens. I firmly believe that a good quality early education is the key to adult success, and parents and school members must work together to achieve this mission!

Mainspring, to me, is like home away from home. I enjoy being a part of the children’s everyday life-learning experiences.

When I saw Mainspring's wide open playground, creative and nutritious whole food menu, and commitment to arts and science, I knew immediately that I wanted my children to be a part of the community. I started off as a parent here before joining the staff in 2017. It is a gift to work with educators who are so deeply invested in the lives of children and families to see our impact every day.

I love the creative environment that Mainspring bolsters, not only for the children, but also for the teachers in our program. Children at these ages are so wonderfully curious about the world they live in; I'm glad I get the chance to experience the discovery and amazement they find out there.

I attended Mainspring when it was Austin Community Nursery School. I am a mother of five, and three of my children have also attended Mainspring. I consider this place home! I'm so grateful to be around such amazing people.
