Kristy Perez
I have been the owner of Harvard Academy since 2017 and bring over a decade of hands-on experience in early childhood education. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and later obtained my Juris Doctor degree in Law. My journey in education began at just 17 years old, working in a Pre-K2 (two-year-old) classroom, and over the years I taught and supported children at every level through VPK. I later served as Assistant Director, overseeing all classrooms and supporting both teachers and families, before founding Harvard Academy.I have always loved children—long before this became my career. From nannying as a young girl to dedicating my life to early education, I have developed a deep understanding of child development and a genuine passion for helping children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe in creating a nurturing, structured, and loving environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.In addition to education, I have a strong passion for law and hope to one day serve as an advocate for children—whether in education, policy, or child-focused legal initiatives—so I can continue supporting children not only in the classroom, but beyond it as well.
