Amanda Francis
Lead Teacher, Mockingbirds Classroom
When I walked into Mainspring for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the sense of community that I felt. I love working with kiddos because they are constantly curious about life and the world around them. Each day I am able to learn and grow alongside my children. Their silly stories and belly laughs help fill the Mockingbird classroom with so much love and joy.

Working with children has always been a passion of mine, so when I was offered the opportunity to work with a diverse and loving community, I took it without hesitation. Even after all these years, I still learn new and wonderful things from the children as well as the great staff. I couldn't imagine working anywhere else but Mainspring!

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.
Erica Perez
Assistant Teacher, Songbirds Classroom
I began as an aunt, bringing my niece to Mainspring. Then I was a mom with two sons at school. Now, as part of the team, I get to watch all of our children’s beautiful minds expand and I get to share those exciting “did you see that?” moments with each of our teachers.
Gabriela Oseguera
Co-Lead Teacher, Dewdrops Classroom
Having over fifteen years of experience in the Education field and holding many titles all over Austin, I believe that no two children learn the same but every child can be taught. Mainspring holds that moral, along with other values that align with my beliefs as an advocate for young children. Fostering growing minds through independence and creativity is my passion and I am excited to share that with your family.

I have worked at Mainspring for almost two years now, and I don’t think I can see myself working anywhere else! I love the kids and it is my mission to make sure they have the best day, every day here. I teach the children to respect on another and I teach those ways to understand their emotions.
