I began as a substitute teacher and fell in love with Mainspring. That's when I decided to become a full-time caregiver to this diverse community. I'm also now a parent and my son is being well taken care of and taught new things by wonderful teachers here at Mainspring. I'm so happy and comfortable with my son's care that I can give all my attention to my babies in class.

Assistant Teacher, Mockingbirds Classroom

I am thankful to be a part of the Mainspring family. Mainspring instills its core values daily to each child, parent and staff. I knew right away this is the perfect fit for me and my child! I am forever grateful for the support and the opportunity to teach even small acts of kindness to our children.

Literacy & Innovation Coach

I have a passion for literacy and bringing books to life. Building a foundation for future readers is very rewarding for me. More than anything, I love the mission of our school. There is a high level of social conscience reflected by all of the staff, day in and day out. I have never worked at a school like Mainspring that honors the growth of each child and the very important role of families. The school’s commitment to children, families, and staff makes a big difference in their lives, the community, and in Austin.

I am always excited about my work in this wonderful school. As a team, we teach and care for our children, but we also learn something new from the children every day.

I am so glad to have the opportunity to work with the kids at Mainspring! Children’s development has always been a fascinating subject to me, and I am thankful to have a job that gives me an in-depth and hands-on view of it.

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.

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.
