MEET OUR TEACHERS
Katy Griffiths
Center Stage Fine Arts Preschool Directorr
My name is Katy Griffiths and I am the Preschool Lead Preschool Teacher at Center Stage Academy.
Preschool can be a fun and exciting time and I’m looking forward to being with your child to explore and learn together!
I grew up in Idaho where I met my husband and we have been able to live around the country as we’ve followed his career. We’ve been in Warrensburg for five years and I've been a preschool teacher at Center Stage for 5 years. In my spare time I love being with my family and supporting our four daughters in their various interests. I also enjoy reading, being outdoors and baking.
I look forward to getting to know you and your child and being able to experience new things with them! I think one of the greatest rewards is when you get to help a child learn something new and see the smile and confidence that comes from what they have learned.
On this website you will find some general information about our programs and the forms necessary for enrollment. If you have any questions or concerns, please call or text us at 660.747.6133 or send us an email at info@centerstagepreschool.com.
Sincerely,
Katy Griffiths
Nancy McLaughlin
Center Stage Fine Arts Preschool T/TH Assistant Teacher
My name is Nancy McLaughlin and I am so excited to be returning to Center Stage as the assistant teacher for the Tuesday/Thursday preschool class this year. I am looking forward to a year full of fun, creative play and learning experiences with your child.
After retiring from my career teaching elementary and special education in the Warrensburg School District in 2014 I have taught preschool at Center Stage for a total of seven years, taking a break in the middle when my first grandchild was born to stay home and spoil her for a while, but found I really missed being at Center Stage and in a classroom full of preschoolers! Their energy and enthusiasm for discovering the world around them makes everyday a fun and exciting adventure. I look forward to sharing the adventure with them!
Sincerely,
Nancy McLaughlin
Marceia Warlen
Center Stage Fine Arts Preschool M/W/F Assistant Teacher
Hello families!
My name is Marceia Warlen and I am excited to be a Preschool Assistant teacher at Center Stage Academy. I live on a farm outside of Chilhowee with my husband. I was born and raised here and love the small town community.
I have been a lead preschool teacher and assistant teacher for the past 19 years. Preschool is a place children can explore, learn through play, and discover their own unique potential and I live to be a part of that.
Beyond the classroom you will see me all around The Burg with my Grandkids at various events. My husband and I don't miss a single dance performance, recital, band concert, theater performance, scout or sporting event they are in.
I am eager to have a wonderful learning journey with the children here at Center Stage Academy!
Sincerely,
Marceia Warlen
