Preschool Teacher: Bekah
Hi all! My name is Bekah, and St. Peter’s has been home to me for over 20 years now. I became affiliated with St. Peter’s in my junior high years when my Mom was the Office Manager for the church. I’d spend summers hanging out in the youth room and walking to the beach. Right out of high school and needing a summer job before starting undergrad, I started working here as a Teacher’s Aide quite confident it would only be for a summer. I ended up loving it so much that I continued here through the bulk of my undergrad years, and then started teaching in a classroom in 2008.
Preschool Teacher: Josey
Hello St. Peter’s! My name is Josey.
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.

Hello! My name is Alanna and I am the Otter teacher.
I previously worked at St. Peters for 2 years as the Sea Star teacher, and left about 4 and half years ago. I returned as an aide in April of 2021 and after a couple months took over the Flying Fish class. In the fall of 2021 I became the Otter teacher! I love the kids, staff and the environment here so much. We truly have an amazing team!
Preschool Aide: Leslie
Hello everyone! My name is Leslie and I am one of the Teacher’s Aides here at St. Peter’s Preschool.
I have been with St. Peter’s for a little over a year and have loved every moment of it!
I hold my B.A. in Child & Adolescent Development from Point Loma Nazarene University (2013 grad) with a minor in Music Education. I’ve worked in preschool, after school care and as a piano teacher for many years.
Both of my children are St. Peter’s alumni and I can’t imagine a better place for them to have gone to preschool.

Preschool Aide: Veronica
Hi everyone! My name is Veronica and I am one of the Teacher’s Aids at St. Peter’s Preschool.
I just started this year and have already grown to love this place very much. I am a San Diego local and went to school at San Diego State University for a Liberal Studies degree with an emphasis in Elementary Education. My passion for working with youth started when I was about 15 as a gymnastics coach both competitively and recreationally, and have continued working with children ever since!
