Anne Watkins
Mrs. Watkins was born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin. She attended college in the southern part of the Fox Valley and began her teaching career at a public middle school, where she taught for 18 years. After the birth of her fourth child, with her oldest being just five years old, she took time off to focus on raising her young family.
God then led Mrs. Watkins to serve in her church as the nursery supervisor for children from birth to age 3 and to oversee mid-week programming for children from birth to age 5. After three years in that role, she transitioned into teaching 3K at the school her children attended. Following four years in that position, she intended to return to staying home full-time when her husband’s travel schedule increased significantly. However, God redirected her path once more, leading her to Trinity Lutheran Church and School, where her faith and teaching experience beautifully came together.
Not long after, Mrs. Watkins’s youngest daughter also joined Trinity, transitioning from public school to grow in her faith alongside her academic journey. Mrs. Watkins feels deeply blessed to be in a place where God’s presence nurtures the spiritual and academic growth of His children.
Train up children in the way they should go; even when they are old, they will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

After the birth of her first child in 2010, Stacy stepped down as director and focused on teaching. In 2012 Stacy graduated with her Master’s in Early Childhood Education from Concordia University Wisconsin, where she focused on the importance on keeping play in the classroom. She has served on the South Wisconsin District Early Childhood team for six years, two of them as director. In 2017 Stacy moved from teaching preschool at Trinity to Kindergarten and that is where God is using her currently and she continues to focus on meeting high academic needs with appropriate approaches for young children through free play, game play, and hands on centers (or guided play). She enjoys being with her family (husband Jason, daughters Emmaline and Annabel), crafting, online scrapbooking, and being outside in God’s creation.

Katy Mollwitz
Hi I’m Katy! Children are so creative and brave. It brings me joy to hear little children laugh and see them smile. They are so full of hope and love. It is a gift to be able to work with the childrn God has placed in my life. I joined the Trinity Childcare team in June 2021. I have been babysitting and caring for children as long as I can remember. In addition to babysitting for some amazing families, I was private nanny for 5 years, volunteered at Vacation Bible School, led Sunday School, and watched children during adult Bible studies. I was raised by two loving parents, and I have been a member at Trinity since 2006. I attended Trinity School K5 through 8th grade. I love to crochet and gift friends and family with my creations. A fact I love to share about myself is that my parents adopted me!
My favorite Bible verse is John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”
