Jessica DiGrazia


Preschool Co-Director

Jessica DiGrazia began her journey at Graham Memorial Preschool as a three year old in Room 3. Since then, she has advanced from substitute, to Assistant Teacher, and to Lead Teacher, as well as watched her three children learn, grow, and play at Graham. When she was in third grade, she wrote a story about becoming a teacher.  She has more than attained that goal, having taught all grades, from preschool to the university level. She whole-heartedly supports the play-based learning model and looks forward to connecting with her school family each and every year.

Jessica holds a Master of Arts degree in Education from UC Davis and a Master of Science degree in Biology from Point Loma Nazarene University. She also maintains a current California Teaching Credential.
