Gabriella Cole - Preschool Teacher
I have worked with children, from Infants up to school-age children for more than 20 years. I am honored to be the Toddler teacher here at Kingdom Express, Where I can use my talents and spiritual influence to love and to educate your children.  I am truly blessed that the Lord has placed me here and has allowed me to serve Him by loving, nurturing, and educating children.  

I am certified in first aid, and CPR. I have a degree in child development, and an associate degree in Pediatric nursing, in my free time I have taught piano and coached soccer and gymnastics.  I graduated from World Harvest Bible College, and while in school I was a Youth Pastor.  I really enjoyed the time I was able to spend pouring in to the next generation.

 

Amy Willis - Infant Teacher
I began working here at Kingdom Express in 2009. I have taught at every age level in the center. While assisting the director, I have had the opportunity to learn more of the administrative side of the child care industry. I have thoroughly enjoyed planning our Center's summer adventures as well as finding new and exciting ways to promote the Center.

I have been involved in many capacities in education for 15 years, most notably teaching kindergarten and first grade. I am currently pursuing my BA in Early Childhood Education and English.

Ms. Cassie - Floating Teacher
            I graduated from Pickerington North High School in 2011 and am continuing my education at Mount Carmel School of Nursing.  I have been working with children for six years, so I instantly knew that I wanted to be a pediatric nurse.  I’m hoping my work experience here at Kingdom Express will further prepare me for my future career.
