My sisters and I grew up in the farmlands of South Glastonbury. We always found ways to get outside and be active. Those are memories I will cherish forever. My parents showed us the importance of independence and education. After high school, I started looking for work and found myself in a position to work in childcare. From the moment I started, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I wanted to help children have a childhood similar to my experience. To create long lasting memories.
I graduated with my degree in early childhood education and after 12 years of experience, I found myself in a position to purchase a school. With support from my family and friends, we made that dream a reality in June 2023.
Birch Mountain Day School has been enriching the lives of young children since 1995. With support from Jeni Minicucci; the previous owner and founder of the school, I will continue what she started.
Birch Mountain Day School created a scholarship named after Megan Osborne-Godi, who worked at the school for several years and was an inspiration to many. The scholarship is awarded to a chosen individual who cares for children in an educational or nursing setting.
Megan was hired to care for the first born child of Jenifer and Andrew Minicucci while also working at Birch Mountain Day School. She was freshly graduated from Bolton High School, class of 1998, at just 18 years old. She was confident, friendly, and always kind. The staff often joked that Jennifer and Andrew’s son, Jeffrey, was her firstborn.
Megan married her high school sweetheart and eventually became a mother of four children. After having three boys, she was overjoyed to have a baby girl. Within weeks of having her baby girl, she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She fought hard for 3 years and passed away in July 2018.
Megan was raised in Bolton and attended the Bolton Public School System. She loved her school, her friends, and her teachers. This scholarship is in memory of her determination to fight and her never-ending love for her children. It is awarded so that the recipient may continue his/her education to care for young children.
