Children Are Her Cause
Bernitta Burnett '18
In January 2020, Educare, a nationally based early childhood educational organization, opened a satellite school in
Springfield, MA. Educare has a simple goal: establish a network of early learning champion schools around the
country that are focused on children as young as infants to five years of age. They established their first school in
Chicago, IL, in 2000, and now, 20 schools later, the results are stunning. The Springfield school is the most recent
addition to this initiative (underwritten by the likes of the Gates Foundation and the Davis Foundation) and is
proudly led by Bay Path's own Bernitta Burnett '18. She states: "I am exactly where I need to be in my life."
