With a brand new B.S. in Education from Miami University of Ohio, Sharron moved to Colorado and taught a second and third grade combination class in the public school system.  A few years later, she moved to California and with children of her own attending preschool, discovered her real calling, early care and education of young children.

Sharron’s 50 years of teaching experience encompasses nearly all areas of early childhood education. She is a veteran preschool teacher having taught and directed at parent cooperative preschools for over 20 years. She has taught parent education classes, school-age childcare programs, park and recreation programs, and elementary school. She has been a Child Development Instructor at several California Community Colleges and has been trained in Creative Curriculum, the HighScopeEducation Through Movement Curriculum, I’m Moving I’m Learning Program, and the Head Start Body Start National Center for Physical Development and Outdoor Play.  

Sharron is currently an Early Childhood Specialist and Teacher of Teachers through her company Play Power at www.sharronkrull.com and an Early Childhood Educational Consultant for Discount School Supply. With her down-to-earth approach and hands-on teaching methods, Sharron speaks at national, state, and regional early childhood conferences, workshops, and staff trainings sharing developmentally appropriate curriculum activities and resources.

Sharron’s advocacy for children and her desire to share with other teachers and parents led her to co-author two teacher resource books: Circle Time Activities for Young Children and Play Power: Games and Activities for Young Children. She also produced two instructional curriculum videos of the same titles. Another book, That Was the Best Party Ever! How to Give Birthday Parties Kids Will Never Forget, is the result of planning and conducting parties and celebrations for children from an educator’s perspective. Literally thousands of children have been touched by her energy and creativity!  

On a personal note, Sharron is married and resides in Capitola, California with her husband Steve. Their blended family consists of their grown children Christy, J.P., Corrie and Marc. Sharron and Steve enjoy the beach, sun, surf, and nine grandchildren!
