Lizzie VanWyk - ECC Director

I am so incredibly thankful to have the privilege of being part of the lives of the youngest FCS students!

In 2016, I graduated from Calvin College with a BA in Early Childhood Education. In July of 2023, I graduated with my Master's in Teacher Leadership from Dordt University.

I love my job, and coming to work is so life-giving that most days, it doesn't feel like "work." My favorite part about teaching at FCS is showing children how God blesses us each day. What a privilege it is that my son gets to attend FCS ECC!

God has richly blessed Fremont Christian Preschool, and I continue to learn new things about the Lord and the intricate human beings he created.

Enrichment Room Lead Teacher - Emily Pearson

I am honored and blessed to be able to spend my days at FCS ECC loving, encouraging, teaching, supporting and celebrating these sweet children. At the same time giving their parents the comfort of knowing their children are safe, loved and well cared for.

Some of the things I love about my job are helping children explore our environment, enjoy God's creation, practice kindness and learn how to communicate with one another well.

I have 15+ years of childcare and early childhood education experience. I enjoy using my experience along with learning new ways to help children learn and grow.

In my free time I enjoy crafting, camping with my friends and family and spending as much time at the beach as possible!

I am filled with gratitude that God has placed me here and look forward to watching him work through me!

Toddler Room Lead Teacher - Courtney Rasmussen

I am beyond grateful and happy to be able to care and support the development of tiny humans!

I have an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education and have worked with children for over four years in daycare and home settings!

When I’m not at FCS ECC you can find me with a book or hanging out with my family! I also have a silver lab named Bailey that I love to spend time with outside!

For most of my life I knew I wanted to work with kiddos but not until about 2 years ago did I have the calling to teach littles about Jesus. I am so thankful to have this opportunity to teach toddlers about the love that God has for each one of them!
