Mardene Meddock-Wright of Las Vegas, a child care teacher at the UNLV/CSUN Preschool, is one of 51 teachers selected by the Tylenol & Terri Lynne Lokoff Child Care Foundation for the National Child Care Teacher Award, an annual program celebrating excellence in quality child care.

Meddock-Wright was honored for her professionalism and commitment to the children she teaches.

As part of the application process, applicants were asked to design an enhancement project for the children in their classrooms, illustrating the educational, social and emotional benefits of the project. Meddock-Wright's award-winning project, Say Cheese, will encourage the children in her classroom to make a book about meaningful events in their life.
