Janet Lawrence embarked on her life long dream of providing quality child care with an emphasis on developmentally appropriate education in the Fall of 1996, when she and her husband, David Lawrence, opened AgapeLand Learning Center. Since her retirement her daughter, Memory Taylor, has taken over day to day operations.
Memory's experience includes hands on experience in the classroom since opening in 1996 and directing since 2008 with education in child development and early childhood education classes from Oklahoma Community College, Tulsa Community College and the University of Central Oklahoma. Memory is assisted by Cathy Wilson. Cathy has been with AgapeLand Learning Center for 15 years. She is a staple and provides a consistent foundation within the center. During her numerous years of child care she has provided invaluable assistance and training to the staff and care to the children at AgapeLand.
AgapeLand has two lead teachers, Brittany Shults and Ashley Simon. Brittany Shults has worked at AgapeLand in the preschool classroom since May of 2012. Brittany graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2015 with a bachelors in Sociology. She is currently continuing her studies in Child Development as well. Ashley Simon has worked with Agape since the Fall of 2009. She will have her Associates in Child Development from Redlands Community College in the Spring of 2015. They are both responsible for working and mentoring the other teachers through education and guidance
