Board of Directors
President - Kim Schreckengost
Kimberly (Kim) Schreckengost is a devoted educator with 15 years of experience in early
childhood education. She is committed to fostering a warm, nurturing and encouraging
environment for children, while working closely with their families and programs to ensure all
needs are met.
Kim holds degrees in Business Technology, Business Administration, and Education. She has
certifications in leadership, literacy, behavior and a multitude of extensive experience in
training, teaching and promoting social-emotional development and practices. She is a
conscious discipline practitioner and enjoys sharing her knowledge through staff and parent
trainings.
Kim has been a vital part of Cheers School Family since its inception. In 1995, Kim pitched the
concept of needing a child care facility for the employees of Berryville Graphics, as well as the
Clarke County community at large to her employer, Berryville Graphics. The company president
supported the idea and founded the startup of Heritage Child Development Center. Kim’s
daughter, Elizabeth, was the reason behind the concept, and one of the first children to attend
Heritage. Kim and Elizabeth’s handprints are embedded into the cement patio at Heritage.
Kim volunteers as a mentor for the Early Childhood Education Council of Virginia. She is a
member of Grace Episcopal Church and serves on the Vestry. She volunteers her time to
community outreach programs and is a member of the church’s Scholarship Committee. When
not working with children, Kim enjoys reading, traveling, gardening, golfing and spending time
with her family and beloved pets.
