Jocelyne Jamie

Hello! My name is Jocelyne Jaime, and I am excited to start my fourth year at VGM in the Yellow Room as an assistant teacher! 

I am from Round Lake, and my experience with the Montessori curriculum began in 2017 when I worked at Old School Montessori in Grayslake in the infant-toddler classroom. Later, I was given the opportunity to work in the 3 to 6-year-old classroom as an assistant teacher. The experience was incredibly rewarding, and I learned so much from all the teachers there. 

Working with students has been the most heartwarming and fulfilling experience. I am a firm believer in children being our future and having the power to change the world. I feel it is up to us to provide them with the best care, compassion, support, and resources necessary to succeed. Every student I have worked with has impacted my life greatly and has truly empowered me to keep growing and learning.

I earned a Paraprofessional Assistant Teacher Certification from Seton Montessori Institute. I am finishing up my Bachelor’s Degree at Northeastern Illinois University and hope to attend graduate school to pursue a Master’s Degree in Social Work or School Counseling. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, watching movies, and going to concerts. I love spending time with my family, friends, and my sweet cat, Tama!

I’m looking forward to the school year and can’t wait to see all the wonderful things our bright little ones will accomplish each day! I feel so fortunate to be part of the Village Green family!
