Danita Day | Child Development Instructor
Effective June 1, 2023, Mrs. Danita Day will retire from LBW having completed 10 years at the College.
Mrs. Danita has spent 15 years in public education and another 13 years in a related field.
She started at LBW in 2013 in the Adult Education program helping adults to achieve their GED.
"I have enjoyed everything about working at LBW! All the staff, fellow colleagues, and students have made my work experience a great one that I will cherish always," she says.
Mrs. Danita has a passion for teaching and enjoying life. "With this career, I'm able to do both [teaching and playing with young children, and teaching young adults how to work with young children]. Friedrich Froebel once said, and I quote 'Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul.'"
When asked about her fondest memories, she says, "All of my college students and Little Saints students have touched my heart in so many ways. The greatest joy is seeing a student succeed and go on to work in this field; to love what they do, and really make a difference in a child's life."
Following retirement, she plans to spend more time with family, friends, and grandchildren. She says, "I hope my husband and I can travel and visit places we have never been able to in the past."
Her parting quote, by Angela Schwindt, "While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about."
