Besty Bernett has been in early childhood care for five years! She has a Bachelors in German & Foreign Language Education from The University of Dayton and has taught middle and high school German/English for seven years before joining the early childhood field.

Betsy left the public schools when the focus went towards testing! Funding was also scarce for foreign language programs; German was cut from several of the school districts that she had worked in. Besty ventured out into corporate America for two and a half years where she did virtual teaching for a software company. She always felt that something was missing from her career path after leaving the traditional education field. Once she had her daughter and was touring facilities for her to attend, she realized that teaching children was her passion and got back into the field. She started out teaching the kindergarteners before transitioning to administration.

Betsy has been married for eight years. Betsy and her husband, Greg have two daughters. Elise is five and Roslyn is 18 months. Her favorite childhood book is “Do Unto Otters”. She enjoyed reading this with her students every year as they talked about treating others with respect and the “golden rule”. We are so lucky to have Betsy on our team!
