Kindergarten Focus!  MBS Kindergarten teacher
(stay tuned for additional teacher bio next week)

My name is Dani Warniment and I am one of the kindergarten teachers at Most Blessed Sacrament! This is my second year teaching here and I absolutely love it. In my opinion, kindergarten is the best age. From their constant curiosity to their enthusiasm for learning, our classroom is always full of life. My little love bugs have such big hearts. I learn valuable lessons from them daily.
My husband and I live in Toledo with our 2 furbabies, Huckleberry Buckaroo and Honeysuckle Bugaboo. All of my students know that dogs are my absolute favorite! I love summertime, country music, and spending time outdoors.
Kindergarten can be incredibly overwhelming at first, and it is definitely a transition! Not only for the student, but for parents too. I hope to make this transition as smooth as possible for you and your child. We do lots of singing, dancing, and laughing in kindergarten, so generally they warm up fast! J We will work together to ensure their success and happiness. I'm so excited to meet your little one next year!
