Our story
MudKitchen is built by Julius Cecilia and Sabrina Obnamia — microschool founders who needed one connected system to open and run Sage Field in Round Rock, Texas.

In May 2026, we founded Sage Field Private Microschool, an outdoor-focused private microschool for children ages 4–11 in Round Rock, Texas.
Getting the school off the ground meant building more than a learning environment. We needed a website, an application and enrollment process, a way to manage tuition, tools for communicating with families, and systems to keep the school running. We needed all of it to work together, without stretching our startup budget.
As a software engineer, Julius began looking for tools that could meet those needs. But the options we found were often difficult to use or hard to adapt to the way we wanted to run our school. Managing tuition and application flows felt more complicated than it needed to be, and our specific needs didn't always fit the systems available.
So we built our own.
Julius developed our website, parent portal, and mobile app, along with tools for applications, enrollment, tuition, and family communication. We built systems for marketing, tours, and shadow days, plus teacher dashboards, school administration, finances, and automations.
This wasn't software built around a hypothetical school. It was software we used to open and operate our own—supporting the same families, teachers, and daily responsibilities we were managing ourselves.

The software helped support that growth by bringing the work of running our school into one connected system.
From the beginning, though, we were building with other microschools in mind. We wanted a product that could grow beyond Sage Field and help founders facing the same challenges: keeping costs manageable, welcoming new families, collecting tuition, supporting teachers, and making their systems fit their school—not the other way around.
That's why we're building this company. We know what it takes to start a microschool because we're doing it ourselves. And we believe the software behind a school should make that work easier, leaving founders more time for the children, families, and communities they set out to serve.
