With over 25 years of experience in early childhood education, Lisa Tobin brings a deep passion for nurturing young learners and supporting families during the most critical years of development. Throughout her career, she has served in a variety of impactful roles, including Early Intervention Specialist, Itinerant Preschool Teacher, and Special Education Preschool Teacher. These diverse experiences have given her a comprehensive understanding of child development, inclusive practices, and individualized learning strategies.

As an Early Intervention Specialist, she partnered closely with families to support infants and toddlers with developmental delays, helping to build strong foundations for lifelong learning. In her work as an Itinerant Preschool Teacher, she collaborated with classroom teachers to ensure children with special needs received appropriate supports within inclusive settings. Her years as a Special Education Preschool Teacher further strengthened her expertise in differentiated instruction, individualized education plans (IEPs), and creating nurturing, structured environments where every child can thrive.

Now serving as a Preschool Director, she is committed to fostering a positive, collaborative school culture where teachers feel supported, families feel valued, and children feel safe, confident, and inspired to learn. She believes in the power of play-based learning, strong family partnerships, and ongoing professional growth for educators. Her leadership is rooted in compassion, experience, and a steadfast dedication to helping every child reach their fullest potential.

Lisa graduated with her Master’s in Special Education from Bowling Green State University and her administrative licenses from the University of Findlay. Lisa resides in St. Marys with her husband Dennis and they have 3 adult children together. For fun, Lisa loves cheering for the Bengals and the Buckeyes!  She also enjoys quilting, reading, and spending time with family.

Keri Robinson is a special education teacher, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and Certified Ohio Behavior Analyst (COBA) whose work is deeply rooted in her role as a mother and advocate. After her own children were diagnosed with severe Level 3 autism, she made the life-changing decision to go to college to better understand how to support them and other students with complex behavioral and learning needs. Through this journey, she discovered that teaching, advocacy, and behavior analysis were not only aligned with her skills but with her life’s purpose.

Keri’s passion for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) led her to earn her BCBA certification, allowing her to integrate academic instruction with behavior analytic principles in meaningful and impactful ways. She is the Director of the Compass 360 Learning Center, a public special education program created and operated by the Auglaize County Educational Service Center that provides evidence-based, ABA-informed services to students from partnering districts.

The Compass 360 Learning Center represents the program Keri wished had existed when her own sons began their educational journey—a setting built on structure, compassion, high expectations, and data-driven intervention. Her dream has always been to open her own ABA center, and through the ESC and the development of Compass 360, that dream has become a reality. Keri remains committed to expanding access to intensive behavioral services while supporting families, empowering staff, and ensuring all students have the opportunity to thrive.
