Hello, My name is Angel Kelly-Cole. I am the director of Growing Smiles Learning and Childcare Center. I have been with this prestigious Center for 29 years. One of my greatest joys is working with children, giving them love and all the tools necessary to be successful in life.
Ms. Quiana (PROGRAM DIRECTOR)
I have always been told that if you do what you love for a living, you’ll never work a day in your life. I live by that. Since I was a child I knew I would be a teacher. Many years later I’m still doing exactly what I love… We grow character, we grow SMILES!

From an early age, I knew I would further my education by being able to help children, I’ve always had a strong passion for the childcare industry. I can remember coming to visit the center during my summer breaks. Growing Smiles was my first job. I am currently a college student pursuing a major in Biology premed, minoring in Business. With the hopes of using my knowledge and resources, I plan to continue to help develop and contribute to the growth of our youth.
