Our Play Makers
Ann Marie Perez
Following the motto of “present living”, a passion in early childhood development, and love for the outdoors, a mother of three young children combined her forces as a seasoned speech language pathologist, parks and playground seeker, former preschool teacher, former summer camp director, and advocate for hands-on learning and created PARKS N PLAY! In beginning a new journey for her family, the vision was clear… create a movement to help the youngest generation and their families get “off the screen, and into the green”!
As a firm believer in holistic approaches, the idea that children thrive on multi sensory, real life, and human interaction, PARKS N PLAY is an outdoor adventure aimed at fostering a love for fresh air, spontaneous occurrences, and special connections. Striving to keep kids off the screen and allowing the imagination to run wild out in the wild!

Ann Marie’s pal and partner for PARKS N PLAY. A licensed bilingual Speech Language Pathologist with 10 plus years of experience. She obtained a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Development and a Masters Degree in Speech Language Pathology from Florida International University.
She is patient, polite, and passionate about working with children of all ages and abilities. She is also a parent, mother to 2 young energetic boys who love parks with playgrounds and playing in the outdoors. She promotes positive language and does her best to keep her people off the screen. Engaging in pretend play (dressing like a policeman or even a pirate) and playing with a purpose is a favorite.
Her goal is to make a difference in the lives of all the children she has the pleasure to work with as well as improve their everyday communication skills through purposeful play. Please come outside of your box and join us for some peaceful and perfect moments!
