THE DIRECTOR

MS. PEREZ - Director

Hi! my name is Yaritza. Everyone calls me "Ms. Perez". It's my pleasure to be part of this excellent school. I believe communication is a key factor for our students to be successful, which comes with creating great parent/director/teacher relationships. It is my responsibility to hire the best teachers I can. My staff is not only qualified and certified, but they are also teachers who are hardworking, dedicated, committed, enthusiastic and caring. I am excited to be a part of the amazing journey we get to embark on together. I cannot believe how much our children grow throughout the years being here at St. Mark Christian Preschool. The days are filled with fun and learning with so many wonderful adventures! I am grateful to be the administrator of this wonderful preschool since 2021.

I was born and raised in New York City until the age of eleven. My family moved back to Puerto Rico for 21 years until I relocated to Palm Coast, FL, in 2013. I am bi-lingual in Spanish. God blessed me with the most precious angel, my daughter in 2019. I am working on obtaining my master's degree in Elementary Education. I have been working with young children for over twenty years I have always known since I was a child that I wanted to become a school administrator, my ultimate profession, because I absolutely love children.

Proverb 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it”.
