Hello St. Peter’s!

My name is Diana. I am looking forward to a fun school year! But first let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I’m from Tijuana. I love to travel, spending time with friends and family. I attended Centro de Enseñanza Montessori to get my certificate as a Montessori guide. In 2017 I moved to Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico, to help open the first Montessori in town. As well open an afternoon program for older kids.

I’ve been working with St Peter’s Preschool for 4 going 5 years, first starting as an aid and now a teacher for Pre-k students. I’ve achieved my associates degree in Behavioral Sciences at Grossmont College and strive to continue my education in child development.

My favorite things to do with the students include process/sensory art and science experiments. Some of my favorite things include nature walk/hikes, singing, playing guitar, line dancing, and horse back riding.
