Nerita’s commitment goes far beyond the school day. As she humbly shares, “I don’t come here just for work, but I’m here after school and on weekends.” Her passion is evident in every aspect of the program—from providing high-quality early childhood services to ensuring that every child and family enrolled receives the support they need to thrive.
Through home-based services and empowering resources, Nerita helps parents become their child’s first and most trusted teacher, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Her work ensures a seamless transition from Early Head Start to kindergarten, giving Beecher’s youngest students the best possible start.
As a lifelong member of the Beecher community—where her parents still reside and where she worships—Nerita embodies the spirit of service and connection that makes our district strong.
