​​

​​​Cheers School Family, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing quality childcare to the Northern Virginia Shenandoah Valley and West Virginia Eastern Panhandle.

 

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.

​

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

​

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.
