MEET OUR NEW INTERNS!

Hi! My name is Dia Yang. I was born and raised in Fairfield, California (bay area). I am graduating this semester with a Bachelor’s of Science in Child Development. I am the 6^th out of 7 children. I am Hmong, which is an Asian minority from Southeast Asia. I love children. I love working with them, helping them grow and learn, as well as helping them along their path in reaching their fullest potential. Growing up I have had a lot of influential teachers and leaders in my life which has helped me to become who I am today. I hope that in some way I can be able to do that for all the children in this preschool program.

My name is Ilse Calland and I am 23 years old. I am currently a student at BYU-Idaho where I will graduate with a BS in Child Development this April. I have been married to the most amazing man, Wes, for almost 2 years. We love boating, camping and spending time with family and friends. I absolutely love working with children, I am truly looking forward to serving and getting to know your children this semester!

Emily Jean Nef has been a student at BYU-Idaho since 2005 and will be graduating this April with a BA degree in Child Development. She has worked before in a Montessori preschool and has also spent a semester as a teacher in the BYU-I preschool. She loves working with young children and hopes to someday open a preschool of her own. Emily Jean was married in 2007 and has one little boy.
