Lauren Cooke

My name is Lauren Cooke, and I am so excited to begin my first year at A Village Green Montessori! I watched my daughter Bailey absolutely thrive in the Orange Room for the past two years, and I can’t wait to be a part of this wonderful community of educators. My youngest, Clare, is excited to join VGM in the Rainbow Room this year.

I earned my degree at Carthage College, majoring in elementary education with a minor in history. After graduating, I moved to Indiana with my college sweetheart and started my teaching career. My teaching experiences range from first grade all the way to eighth grade. 

After making many memories and growing as a teacher, we were ready to return to my hometown of Libertyville and expand our family. I took some time off from teaching to be home with my daughters, and it feels so right to be returning to this beloved profession!

My husband and I are enjoying raising our two girls in Libertyville immensely. Our free time consists of playing in Cook Park, hanging out with my parents and twin sister who all live in town, and getting to Door County any chance we get. When I find a quiet moment, you will find me with my head bent over a book or watching Bravo. 

I can’t wait to get started with this school year and meet the incoming group of amazing kiddos!
