Jess Hicks
Director of Education
After 10 years of working in early childhood education, I can say that Mainspring is a unique and special place. I was drawn to the mission and philosophy of the school, and knew I needed to be a part. This beautiful community holds space for creativity, play, and connection.
Brendan Wells
Director of Operations
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.
Anisha Wynn
Director of Family Services
I attended Mainspring when it was Austin Community Nursery School. I am a mother of five, three of my children also attended Mainspring, and my granddaughter attends now. I consider this place home! I'm so grateful to be around such amazing people.
Ashley Clements
Kitchen Manager
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.
