Orange Room Directress
4 years at VGM
Hello, my name is Michelle Noll, and I am excited to be returning for a 4th year working with the amazing teachers at A Village Green Montessori! For the past year, I had the privilege of to be the lead teacher for the Orange Room .
I have always loved working with children. I have a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Illinois State University. I also hold an Illinois teaching certificate for kindergarten through ninth grade. After finishing college, I experienced Montessori education and was amazed by the academic progress children make while following their own interests. I taught at Skokie Montessori from 2006-2010 as the lead Lower Elementary teacher. I obtained my American Montessori Society Elementary 1 Credential, which is the Montessori teaching certificate for first through third grade.
I am in the process of completing my Montessori certification for the primary age, 3 to 6-year-olds. I’m looking forward to working with Ms. Amber during her Montessori internship as well.
My journey at VGM began several years ago when my daughter, Autumn, started preschool in the Blue Room. Later, my son Henry came to VGM as a two-year-old and attended through kindergarten. I chose Village Green for its balanced approach to Montessori education. I look forward to helping students learn academic skills and gain independence!
