Cheryl Rivera, Coordinator of Early Childhood
Welcome to the Crestwood Early Childhood Center! I am delighted that you have selected our center for your child. Our preschool programs provide inclusive settings that recognize children's varied abilities, interests, needs, and learning styles. We believe children learn best through meaningful play.
Everyone on our team contributes a wealth of knowledge to the program. I have been an educator in the field of early childhood for over twenty years and served in a variety of roles including classroom teacher, Early Childhood Specialist and Director. I hold a BS in Elementary Education with a ZA endorsement from Eastern Michigan University and a MEd in Early Childhood Education from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
I am also a mother to twin daughters, Maia and Milani, who are currently in 8th grade. They are my world! I have a passion for learning about cultures and see myself as a global citizen. I enjoy traveling, listening to music, reading books, and spending time with family & friends.
