​

CHEERS School Family is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization passionate about having an environment where children know love, sense security, and embrace education.

 

The children enrolled at a CHEERS facility spend their days exploring, learning and developing physical and social emotional skills as they move through their most formative early childhood years.  

​

CHEERS School Family Inc. operates two childcare facilities: Heritage in Berryville, Virginia, and Children First in Kearneysville, West Virginia.  

​​

The CHEERS School Family™,Inc was founded in 1997 by area businesses and individuals committed to bringing quality childcare to our rural community. Without their commitment of time, talent, and resources these child development centers would not exist.

​

Our History:

 

September 1997 – The Heritage Child Development Center (HCDC) opened in the Grace Episcopal Church Parish Hall serving 24 children while the building was under construction.

June 1998 – Heritage opens the new building, and is able to serve 85 children.

April 2002 – The Children First Child Development Center (CFCDC) opened as a “sister center” in Kearneysville, WV, serving over 100 children.

December 2004 – the respective Board of Directors signed the final documents to legally merge the two organizations into CHEERS School Family™, Inc.
