Two Year Old Staff

Becka Zimmerman – Group Supervisor

Rebecca (Miss Becka) is very excited to be joining the SEYCo family as the new Lead Toddler Teacher! She is a mom to three wonderful children that help guide her to be the very best version of herself each and every day. Additionally, she has six nieces and nephews! She has always had a special place in her heart to work with and alongside children of all ages. She is a graduate from Penn State University (Go Nittany Lions)! She received her bachelor’s in psychology with a focus in Biobehavioral health. She began working with children at the age of thirteen, working as a leader in training with the YMCA summer program. That experience extended to becoming a full-time counselor in summer months, to working with the before and aftercare kids school program, kid-fit program and ultimately becoming a head infant/toddler teacher with Play and Learn Preschool for several years. She has since worked for the YMCA development center until 2021 when her youngest child was born.

During her career as an early childhood educator, she has developed engaging, age-appropriate lesson plans that support children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. Becka focuses on creating a safe and nurturing classroom environment where every child feels valued, empowered, and encouraged to explore their creativity. Her experience implementing play-based learning, incorporating hands-on activities, and using positive behavior guidance strategies foster both independence and collaboration. Becka looks forward to contributing to the SEYCo community and supporting the growth of the students!
