Welcome to 
Ms. Holly Clark Kindergarten Teacher
My name is Holly Clark and I became a teacher because I had many jobs when I was younger, but felt the most fulfilled working in a summer camp with children. I love to see the amazing amount of growth that happens in one full school year. During my free time, I love traveling to Spain and I also am a semi-professional photographer.

Ms. Mariana Serrano
Kindergarten Teacher
HOLA! I am Mariana Serrano-Rosado. I was born and raised in my beautiful island, Puerto Rico. I have a Bachelor's in Education K-3 and a Master's in the Teaching of reading and writing. I taught for three years in Puerto Rico. But destiny had different plans for me; meeting the wonderful family of Claremont Immersion. I've always wanted to work with children. I love and enjoy what I do! My purpose and wish as a teacher is that students love and enjoy Kindergarten. When I'm not working (although teachers never stop working) I enjoy watching TV, going to the movies, reading, eating, traveling, going to the beach and of course dancing!
