Shinaye Dannewitz
Three Year Olds

Shinaye is one of our lead teachers in the three-year old program and has been with Carlsbad Country Day School since we opened. Before spending the last 2 years as a Lead Preschool teacher, Shinaye was a Lead Teacher in the Infant Toddler Program. Her flexibility with all age groups has made her an irreplaceable asset to our continuity of care program.

Shinaye currently holds her AA in Early Childhood Education and is one class away from her BA in Liberal Studies. She is currently both CPR and First Aide certified for Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers. In her free time, Shinaye enjoys cooking, working out, reading novels, and spending time with her best friend and husband, Jason. They reside together with their dog, Nikki, in San Marcos.
