"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
Welcome to The Family Learning Center!
My name is Lindsey Simmonds. I joined the FLC team as the Site Director in October 2017. I have worked in the Early Childhood Education field for over 22 years, including the past 7 years I was the Site Director of Miller Ranch Child Care in Edwards. I moved to Eagle County from Lone Tree, CO where I was the Director of Compass Child Care for Douglas County School District. I have studied Early Childhood Education at both Metropolitan State University of Denver and Colorado Mountain College and am a graduate of the Franklin Covey Leadership Academy. I live in the Lower Homestead community of Edwards with my son, Fisher, my husband, Nathan, and our dog, Olive. In my spare time, I love taking advantage of all that Colorado has to offer; camping, fishing, skiing, and hiking!
I look forward to meeting you and your child as well as welcoming you to our Family Learning Center family!

My name is Jennifer, please call me Jen! I have lived in the valley for nearly 15 years. I am married with two teenage boys. I started working with kids in high school and have not done anything else since! I went to college for ECE and received my CDA. I hope to further my studies even more. I have always had a natural connection with children, I love their spirit and individuality. FLC has been a wonderful experience and opportunity for me.
My name is Cecilia Reyes and I was born in Mexico. I have two associates in early childhood education. It is amazing to me how small a child can be and how they have some traits or ideas of how they will be when they grow up.
Hello I’m Emylia Stewart, or Emy for short. I was born in Leadville and raised throughout the valley. I’ve also lived in places such as Florida, Iowa and even out of the country in Honduras for a short while. I tend to be very quiet and would rather stay at home with a good book than go out most weekends. I love learning new things and am hoping to continue my schooling. I’ve been a teacher since 2016 and have really enjoyed the different experiences, struggles, and love all children have to offer. I believe we as educators and parents a here to mold the great minds of tomorrow. So I hope to make a lasting impact in the way of giving children a chance to grow and understand that even in this great big world, their is always someone to give you a helping hand

I'm Betty,
I've been blessed with four beautiful children, and two lovely Granddaughters. I'm a Colorado Native, and am fortunate to be living up in the Mountains. I enjoy reading, cycling, swimming, walking, hiking, and Zumba. I've been working at "The Family Learning Center" for over ten years.
I feel getting on the child's level is key, to helping the child learn and grow at their own pace. I love getting messy with the kids, singing, dancing, being playful, and letting the kids be kids! Most of all, I love being an important part in the life of a child! Best job ever! Lots of hugs and kisses!
