Michelle Noll

Hello! My name is Michelle Noll, and I am excited to be returning for my fifth year working with the amazing teachers and children at A Village Green Montessori! This will be my third year as the lead teacher in 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 (AMS) Elementary 1 Credential, which is the Montessori teaching certificate for first through third grade.

Over the last two years, I worked hard in an AMS program, and I am now certified in Early Childhood as well. I am eager to bring all the fun, new lessons I have learned into the classroom! 

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!
