As a student for the first 5 years, volunteering in the classrooms as a young teenager, being her first (and only) job, and listening to and watching her parents own and operate such a successful business, she has learned more than she ever thought possible. Sam graduated from Rivier University with an Early Childhood Education and Business Degree.
Steven graduated from University of New Hampshire with a Business Management Degree. He works as a senior financial analyst. Steven and Sam are very eager to continue the Wonder Years legacy that Mike and Cheryl built over the last 25+ years.
