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.
