Administrative Assistant 
I am Ms. Janika, teacher, substitute, and aide for It's a Good Day Preschool! I am a high school graduate who is currently attending college. I enjoy art, singing, cooking, and swimming! My love for teaching began while lifeguarding where I taught swimming lessons to children. Throughout my years at It's a Good Day Preschool, I have learned that children can teach us just as many lessons as we teach them! My certifications include Emergency Medical Responder, Blood-borne Pathogens Training, Lifeguarding with CPR/AED, and First Aid. I also hold a Utah Food Handler's permit, passed a background check, and have completed the Utah Child Care training. I attend the yearly Utah Early Childhood Conference and 20 hours of training yearly to further my education.
