Monson Savings Bank Pledges $20,000 to Educare Springfield

MONSON — Monson Savings Bank announced a pledge of $20,000 to Educare Springfield, reinforcing its commitment to early childhood education and community development. The donation was commemorated with the unveiling of Monson Savings Bank’s name on Educare’s interactive donor wall.

The celebration brought together key leaders from both organizations, including Monson Savings Bank President and CEO Dan Moriarty and Executive Vice President and COO Michael Rouette, alongside Educare Springfield Executive Director Nikki Burnett, who also serves on Monson Savings Bank’s board of directors and trustees, and School Director Amy Stec.

“We are proud to support Educare Springfield and the incredible work they do to ensure every child has access to high-quality early education,” Moriarty said. “This investment reflects our belief in the power of education to transform lives and strengthen communities.”

Rouette added that “it’s inspiring to see the impact Educare is making in Springfield. We’re honored to be part of their mission and look forward to seeing the continued growth and success of the children and families they serve.”

Educare Springfield is part of a national network of early childhood schools that use data-driven practices to prepare children for success in school and life. Educare believes that everyone deserves a fair chance to achieve their dreams, and it starts by leveling the playing field from an early age.

“Monson Savings Bank’s support means so much to our organization,” Burnett said. “Their generosity helps us continue providing innovative, research-based education to our youngest learners. As someone who serves both organizations, I see firsthand how closely aligned our values are, especially our shared commitment to empowering the community through education and opportunity.”

Stec added that “having Monson Savings Bank’s name on our donor wall is a powerful symbol of partnership. It shows our children and families that the community believes in them and their potential.”
