How to keep footer at the bottom of the page when resizing on bootstrap

I am designing my first website from scratch, and I am trying to learn everything all at once. I have figured most of it out, however, there are a couple things that I can not figure out whatsoever. My question is this, how would I make my footer stick to the bottom of the page when resizing it smaller? I am working in bootstrap, and when I resize the page to small and medium, the footer gets pushed up, and away from where it should be. What am I doing wrong?

Here is my HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <title> Delightful Days Daycare</title>

You should be able to achieve a footer that sticks to the bottom of your page at all times by using something like this template in your HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <head>
      <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
      <footer></footer>
  </body>
</html>

And this in your CSS:

html {
  position: relative;
  min-height: 100%;
}
body {
  margin: 0 0 100px; /* bottom = footer height */
}
footer {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100%;
}

It should work without all of the additional Bootstrap classes like "navbar navbar-default navbar-static-bottom navbar-fixed-bottom".

Try to wrap your code like this:

HTML code:

<body>
  <div class="page-wrap">      
    .
    .
    .          
  </div>
  <footer class="page-footer">
    .
    .
    .
  </footer>
</body>

CSS code:

* {
  margin: 0;
}
html, body {
  height: 100%;
}
.page-wrap {
  min-height: 100%;
  margin-bottom: -20px; /* Height of the footer */
}
.page-wrap:after {
  content: "";
  display: block;
}
.page-footer, .page-wrap:after {
  height: 20px; 
}
.page-footer {
  background: orange;
}

This way your footer has a fixed height, and it only shows when you arrive at the end of the page.

You need to use the navbar-fixed-bottom class:

<div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-bottom navbar-fixed-bottom"> 
    ...
</div>
