Jessica Griffin

Preschool & Junior Kindergarten Director

As the Director at Parker Core Knowledge Preschool and Junior Kindergarten, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for early childhood education. With over 25 years of working with children, I have dedicated my career to fostering a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for young minds. 

In addition to my professional experience, I am also a proud parent of five children, ranging in age from 9 to 23. My own experiences as a parent have greatly influenced my approach to education, as I understand the importance of providing a safe and supportive space for children to grow and thrive. 

Throughout my 24 years of marriage, I have been fortunate to have the unwavering support of my spouse, which has allowed me to pursue my passion for early childhood education. Together, we have built a strong foundation of love and commitment, which serves as a guiding force in my work as the Director. 

I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education, which has equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills to create a comprehensive curriculum that promotes growth and development. I am a firm believer in the power of learning and strive to create an inclusive and engaging environment that caters to the unique needs of each child. 

As the Director at Parker Core Knowledge Preschool and Junior Kindergarten, I am dedicated to providing an exceptional early childhood education experience for every child who walks through our doors. I am committed to fostering a love for learning, nurturing curiosity, and instilling a strong foundation for future academic success.
