Krista Duran, M.A.

Krista brings over a decade of experience working alongside children and families with special needs, supporting early development through compassion, structure, and evidence-based care. Her work has always been rooted in one belief: families thrive when they feel understood, supported, and confident in the care their child receives.

Through years of hands-on experience, Krista has developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges families face during the early years. She specializes in creating thoughtful, engaging programs that empower caregivers with practical tools, clear guidance, and reassurance - helping them navigate early intervention with confidence rather than overwhelm.

As both a professional and a parent, Krista understands that progress doesn’t always come in big leaps. Often, it’s built through small, meaningful steps taken consistently over time. She is deeply committed to meeting families where they are, honoring each child’s individuality, and celebrating growth in all its forms.

Krista leads Poppins & Co. with the belief that early support can change the trajectory of a child’s life - and that when families feel supported, children flourish.
