Child Enterprises was established in 1974 by Richard Child as a branch off from his father's company, Earl S. Child Masonry. Earl Child gave Richard Child the means to get started in the masonry industry. He also helped form the vision of what Child Enterprises would become. With the help of his three sons; Mike, Craig, and Steve, Child Enterprises has continued to grow and presently has been listed as one of Inc. 5000's fastest growing private companies in 2008.
