My name is Emily Simonson and I am the 6-12 Month Lead Teacher. I graduated from Belmond-Klemme High school in 2021. Then I went to the University of Iowa for a year before leaving to take some time to decide what I wanted to study. I have now been working at the daycare since April of 2023 and I love it! My favorite activity is going on walks with the kids, especially when the weather is nice. IT’s great to get outside and get fresh air and the kids love getting some energy out while exploring new environments. My favorite food at the daycare is the smoothies we have for snack in the afternoon sometimes. I love getting to know the kids and watching them learn and grow. It’s amazing to get to see kids go from crawling to walking and talking and to get to help be a part of that. Plus it’s so cool to see the kids’ personalities grow and develop as they get older!
