About Our Staff

We know that every child is unique and deserves a unique education. Our highly qualified teachers and staff guide the way for your child to become independent while making good choices. We strive to ensure that your children will be introduced to every aspect of learning in their formative years, so they're prepared for the future.

We are extremely proud of our excellent staff of teachers, directors and support staff. We require on-going training for our staff through state classes, orientation videos, in-house training, and other certified professionals in the education field. All of our staff is trained in First Aid and CPR. We take great pride and responsibility to keep safe, educate and nurture the children within our care.

We strive to be the top leader in quality childcare and invite you to stop by to meet us! We would love to have your family join ours!

Meet Our Team

Crystal and Joshua Kast

Josh and I purchased Children Are Special Early Learning Center in 2004 from Josh’s parents Kathy and Terry Kast.  We were blessed with the opportunity to purchase the business with the help of my parents Mike and Theresa Watson.  We have grown so much in the past 20 years and love what we do.  We get to impact children daily and the greatest reward is watching them grow.  We have four children of our own and have watched each of them grow through all of the classes here at the center.

Employed with Children Are Special Early Learning Center since 2012

My name is Lupe Agbisit.  I have worked with preschool age children for over 20 years.  I have experience working with children who have challenging behaviors, different learning abilities and those who need to be challenged due to their advancement in their thinking abilities. I graduated with a degree in Children & Family Studies.  I look forward to any trainings that will help improve my skills.  My goal is to provide quality early education for every child that enters my classroom, but most of all to make learning FUN! Thank you for allowing me to be your child’s teachers this year.
