Faculty: Mollie Centala
ECC Assistant Teacher
Mollie Centala joined the Steiner community in 2012 with her toddler at the Alabama Waldorf School's Morning Garden program. In addition to her dream role as a mother, she is a fine arts instructor. In the summer, you can find her at a children's camp on a private island hosting the arts & crafts tent, and throughout the school year, she teaches dance at regional studios. Cherished previous roles include being a birth doula, founding a school of the performing arts, and being a job coach for adults who have significant developmental differences. Ms. Centala loved solo camping in the Superstition Mountains as a college student while young-adulting in Phoenix, Arizona, where she studied Human Biology at Grand Canyon University, there she participated, with gratitude and awe, in the Gross Anatomy Lab. She was awarded the title, La Pequeña Jefa de Roedores, on La Isla Espíritu Santo, a deserted, desert island in the Sea of Cortez, Baja California, Mexico. She is an Alpha Xi Delta Alumnae from the Gamma Zeta chapter at Eastern Michigan University. Her two sons enthusiastically attend the Detroit Waldorf School. Together, they are the loving caretakers of three cats, two dogs, a gecko, and a rescued house-mouse. They are also empty nesters as their married, adult parakeets, Buddy & Blueberry, now reside at Wilderness Trail Zoo with their four juvenile offspring, flying freely as a family.
