EVANSTON, WY, December 02, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cheryl Ann O'Harra has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
As an award-winning preschool teacher recognized in "Who's Who of Early Childhood Educators," Ms. O'Harra has dedicated 38 years to nurturing young minds in both the public and private sectors. The joy of seeing a child's face light up when they write their name or sound out their first word is one of the most rewarding aspects of her career.
She graduated from Golden Valley Lutheran College and Concordia College, and continued her higher education at Regis University, earning a degree in Early Childhood Education with a minor in music. This academic foundation has reinforced her belief in the importance of a holistic approach to early childhood education.
She was married to Commander Kevin "Slick" O'Harra, USN and USNR, who served 17 years in the military before joining Delta Airlines. They settled in Wyoming, drawn by the desire to raise their family amidst the beautiful outdoors. Their love for activities like hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing enriched their family life immensely alongside their children, Erin, Devin, and Tristan.
Beyond teaching, Ms. O'Harra cherishes traveling, playing the piano, rescuing dogs, and spending time with her family. She believes in the power of community service and has volunteered with organizations such as the Salvation Army, Lord's Storehouse, Booster Clubs, the Salt Lake Homeless Shelter, and Trinity Lutheran Church.
Her core belief is that every child can become the best version of themselves with the right opportunities and encouragement. This philosophy guided Ms. O'Harra to open her school 15 years ago, TLC Preschool, after she struggled to find the ideal learning environment for her own child. Initially a small venture, it has since grown, thanks to the support of wonderful colleagues and her family.
TLC Preschool offers children a safe and nurturing space with hands-on learning experiences tailored to meet their individual needs. Recognizing the vital role of music in development, TLC integrates it into its curriculum, ensuring that each child's learning journey is both joyful and enriching. Going to work every day and being greeted by smiling faces reaffirms her passion for teaching and her commitment to fostering a love for learning in every child.
