Laura Rother Westemeyer

Founder & President
After becoming a mom my perspective on life completely changed. Never more would I be concerned about my job performance at work, or the many other priorities I had, than I would be for the health and happiness of my child.

Anna

Administrative & Outreach Coordinator
Originally from North Dakota, I actually spent most of my growing up years in Fort Dodge, IA. Inspired by my mother, I decided to enter the therapy world. I’ve been working at the Children’s Center since 2008 and I’ve loved helping kids to reach their full potential.

Since starting at the Children’s Center in September of 2009, I’ve enjoyed its caring families, my lively coworkers, and the delicious food (our weekly staff meals cooked by Dayrin Lovan- CCT’s Parent Advocate Volunteer)!
