Mainspring Schools

WE BELIEVE THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS ANOTHER PERSON’S CHILD Since 1941, Mainspring is a best-in-class nonprofit preschool that eliminates the early childhood school readiness gap. Through high-quality early education, health, family services and community building, we give children ages 0-5 and their families the foundation to succeed in school and in life. ONE OF THE TOP PRESCHOOLS IN TEXAS Mainspring was the first early childhood program in the country to be built within a federal housing project and the first in Texas to become an in-district charter school (with our partner AISD). Mainspring is among the 8% of all U.S. centers to achieve NAEYC accreditation and has the highest possible 4-star rating in the Texas Rising Star system. Mainspring was also selected by the Texas Education Agency to be part of its exclusive Replicating Great Options program. OUR MISSION To provide children and their families with a community for high-quality early education and holistic support. OUR VISION For every child, a foundation to thrive
