Warning


Please be aware that there are many ways that children can be exposed to harmful content via the internet.  All internet activity for young children should be monitored.  YouTube  as well as YouTube  Kids has extremely harmful content that has been embedded into seemingly safe videos. We, as a school will only utilize Teacher Tube.  Please be mindful that you are not being "mean" or stunting independence by closely monitoring and limiting internet activity in your child.  There are several games that students this age regularly  play that are rated for 18+.  Children this age do not have the capacity to manage the emotions that come along with viewing adult material.


For the next 2 weeks, we will introduce you to the Kindergarten teachers at our area Catholic Schools.  Today, Please meet Mrs. Dani Warniment for Most Blessed Sacrament School
My name is Dani Warniment and I am one of the kindergarten teachers at Most Blessed Sacrament! This
is my third 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! We will work together to ensure their success and happiness. I'm so excited to meet your little one next year!
We will be adding the following days to our schedule to make up for some snow days and delays.
