Welcome to my
Graduate Portfolio
Hello, I am Jill St. Peter. I have dedicated over 35 years to the field of Early Childhood Education. My journey has taken me from a volunteer aide to my current role as the Curriculum and Training Director for 13 state-funded preschools across Sonoma and Marin Counties. Each step has deepened my passion for supporting educators, understanding firsthand the challenges and rewards of this vital profession. Alongside the invaluable guidance of my committee members, the unwavering support of my husband and daughter has been a cornerstone of my journey. Their encouragement and belief in my mission have been instrumental in my achievements. I am immensely grateful to them and to everyone who has supported me along this path, reinforcing my commitment to championing the educators who dedicate themselves to nurturing our communities' youngest members and their families. Thank you for joining me in celebrating this journey and the collective efforts that have made it possible.
