Mrs. Dolly
Hello! My name is Dolly Tampos Oksman. I am so thrilled to be part of the Heights Developmental Preschool team! I received my Master's Degree in Sociology in 2004 in the Philippines, Master's Degree in Special Education in 2012 from the University of Phoenix. In addition, I received my graduate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from Brandman University in 2018. I have been teaching exceptional students for almost 10 years as a resource teacher and self-contained teacher for students with autism.
Prior to being a special education teacher, I taught Sociology and Anthropology to college students, nursery to second-grade general education, and high school in the Philippines.
I feel so blessed and honored to be teaching preschool. I am given the privilege and opportunity to help shape the minds of our little ones and make a difference in their lives. I am looking forward to collaborating with my preschool team, parents, and other stakeholders to provide the best for our students.
You can find me singing and dancing in room B 122 or call me at 602-664-7815. My email address is dtampos@madisoned.org.
Ms. Jennifer
Hello! My name is Jennifer Trost and I am so excited to be a member of the Heights Developmental Preschool team! I received my Master’s of Arts Degree as a Speech Language Pathologist in 2011 from Wichita State University (Go Shockers!) I have since held my career here in the desert, which was a big change from where I was raised playing in the Colorado snow.
My experience in the field has included working with both preschool and Autism programs in public schools and private clinics. Preschool holds my heart as I thoroughly enjoy teaching through play and believe that early intervention is key in life-long learning success! Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and my two fur-children.
Mr. Luke
Hello, my name is Luke. I am a Paraprofessional in the Madison Heights Developmental Preschool.
I grew up in Illinois and went to college at Illinois State. I graduated and then started working at an Autism school called Giant Steps. In December 2019, I moved to Scottsdale Arizona. I worked at Madison Park Middle School as a Paraprofessional from January 2019 to May of 2021 and have been with Mrs. Dolly ever since.
The leisure activities I like to enjoy the most are golfing, seeing movies, watching sports, and going out to eat. I am excited to have fun, help and learn in the classroom!
