Danica Wytcherley and her family of five moved to the Inland NW from Minnesota’s
Twin Cities during the height of Covid. She co-lead the mom’s ministry at their former
church in downtown Minneapolis for five years and has been a women’s Bible study
leader at her local church for the past three years. Two years ago she would have
identified herself as a reluctant homeschooler whose hand was forced and now sees
God’s providence all over their new (and now much loved) home education adventure.
She has three degrees, a B.S., Business; B.A., Theater Arts and Master’s in Library and
Information Science- but if you ask her, she’d say she likes her MMA black belt
education the most. And she loves books. Her husband may say she has a book
problem…
