About the Provider

Advertisement
CHEERS School Family is incorporated as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. Both Heritage and Children First were founded by local businesses and individuals who were committed to bringing quality child care to our growing communities. Without their commitment of time, talent and resources the child development centers would not exist. CHEERS School Family began as a single child development program. In 1997 Heritage opened its doors serving 24 children. By 2005 the CHEERS school family was serving close to 300 families in three locations.
