My daughter just went to the dentistand they recommended putting
sealants on two of her molars but they are baby teeth and I am not so
sure. They also said she had slight emulsions on her front teeth and
would need fillings? Does this sound right

Maybe and maybe not. go get a second opinion in person if you are worried

How old is your daughter.

If around 6 y.o. those back teeth are permanent molars.
We don't usually put sealants in primary teeth.
Sealants are a great idea in newly erupted permanent teeth.
Placed 10 of sealants in one of my grandsons last month,
was waiting for the bicuspids to erupt.

Not sure what 'emulsions' are. Perhaps you were unsure
of what the dentist said, in which case you should always
ask questions.

Don't you remember what the farmer told you last time you asked that?
