Kendra Morgan

Certified Child & Parent Specialist & BAC Founder and Director

I am a wife, mother of three, friend, and daughter that loves The Lord with all my heart. I have a strong passion for children and desire for them to know and understand Christ. I have a broad experienced background in child development working with children for the past 25 years ranging from hands-on teaching in a pre-school classroom to working full-time leading the special services division for state and federal programs. I have been a contract provider for several different agencies which has allowed me to provide my expertise in early childhood development and community resources. I hold a masters degree in Early Childhood Education, from Oklahoma State University, bachelors of Science in Family Relations and Child Development, and I am certified in Biblical Counseling through Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Melissa Cole

Melissa and her husband live in Broken Arrow with their three children. Melissa has always had a love for children. Melissa and her husband have both been involved for several years with mission work at an orphanage in Ecuador. She is involved with PTA and is homeroom mom for both of her sons while balancing her time to care for her daughter at home.

As a mother of three children who all have very different personalities, strengths, and weaknesses, she understands the struggles many moms may have of not feeling like she is doing her best with each child individually and the stress that it can sometimes cause in the home.  Having a child that struggles more in some areas than her other two, Melissa found much comfort and support from Building All Children and their amazing resources.  She feels incredibly blessed and passionate about the opportunity to help others and see Gods work in the lives of others.
