Hi! My name is Dori and I have lived in the OB/Point Loma area for 25+ years. I truly believe I have found the perfect home! I have 3 children all grown, and 2 granddaughters. My youngest daughter is a St. Peter’s alumni. <3 

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.

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.
