Cherry Preschool is grateful to our many kind and generous donors who have made an investment in our school, children, and staff. We are committed to providing a quality, affordable, and inclusive early childhood education to families. Generosity from our community of supporters provides resources for vital programs like our Laurie Levy Scholarship Fund and our Rhonda Cohen Inclusion Program.
Every effort is made to list donors accurately.
