Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten
Come Grow with Us! The OMPH Preschool (age 3) and Pre-Kindergarten Programs are offered to children who are 3 and 4 years old by September 1. The programs provide activities which are developmentally appropriate in a Catholic environment. Planned indoor and outdoor activities promote physical, social and spiritual growth. Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten programs are held Monday through Friday from 8:00am - 2:45pm. An on-site after school program is available until 5:30pm. Preschool 3 and Pre-Kindergarten students must be potty trained in order to be accepted into the Preschool programs.
Mrs. Anna Fulton, Preschool Director
Welcome to Preschool! I have a BS in Education from Millersville University, as well as a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I also have a supervisory certificate from Penn State. I have been teaching both Preschool and Early Intervention (Preschool Special Education) for many, many years!
I also served as an evaluator for Early Intervention and as a supervisor at the IU 13. In the 90s, my husband was transferred to China where I served as a Principal of an English-speaking school.
I retired from the IU 13 about six years ago, but missed working, so two years ago I volunteered to help with the OMPH School Art classes taught by my sister-in-law, Mrs. Jacobs. I thoroughly enjoyed being at OMPH! When the opportunity arose to teach at the Preschool level, I was thrilled!
Mrs. Adrienne Edmiston, Pre-Kindergarten Teacher
Hello! My name is Adrienne Edmiston and I am so thrilled to be part of the OMPH School team!
I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science Degree. After a few years of working in the business world, I knew that it was not my true calling. I returned to Shippensburg University and obtained my Masters in Early Childhood Education. I have been teaching preschool for over 10 years with Head Start in Harrisburg and I truly love educating young children!
My family and I have been members of the OMPH Church for many years. As lifelong Catholics, my husband and I knew it was our goal to raise our two daughters and son in the Catholic faith. Currently, our daughters participate in the Religious Education classes at OMPH. I look forward to the opportunity to educate the youngest members of OMPH School and help them to grow both academically and spiritually.
Miss Marissa Armstrong, Preschool 3 Teacher
Hello Everyone! I am very excited to join the OMPH School faculty in 2021-22 as the Preschool 3 teacher. I graduated from Saint Francis University with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. This will be my sixth year as a teacher. I have taught one year of 2nd grade, two years of 5th grade, one year of 2- and 3-year-old preschool, and one year of kindergarten. I recently moved back to the Lancaster area and I am thrilled to be at OMPH School with the amazing staff this year. I am looking forward to meeting you all very soon and helping the children grow each and every day!
