Nicole Perri, Kindergarten

Nicole Perri is entering her fifth year of teaching Kindergarten.  Having spent numerous years teaching in different school districts, Ms. Perri is joining the Green Woods team this year! She is a graduate of Pennsylvania State University with her Bachelors of Science degree in Kindergarten and Elementary Education. Ms. Perri’s favorite part of teaching five and six year olds is watching them learn and grow over the year!

Nicole grew up in Bucks County, and recently moved right around the corner from Green Woods to Roxborough with her dog Kramer! In her free time, Ms. Perri enjoys reading, doing puzzles and running. Ms. Perri is looking forward to making a difference in your child’s life and working as a team to make Kindergarten a great success!

I am looking forward to becoming part of the unique team of teachers that make up Green Woods! In my search for a kindergarten teaching position, I came across the Green Woods website. I was amazed at what a unique and hands-on school that Green Woods is! Being able to integrate all aspects of the curriculum and “bringing the classroom outside,” were only a few of the main reasons I wanted to teach here! I feel that most students learn best when they are directly exposed to what they are learning. Being able to have the 300 acres of forest to explore and learn from is something I truly cannot wait to discover with my students! I feel honored to have been chosen to be a part of the Green Woods team!

As I take time to reflect on my work experience over the years, I realize that I have always worked in a capacity that involved children.  I believe that being with children is my passion and it’s very important for me to make a positive and everlasting impression on them. 

This is my fourth year at Green Woods!  What I enjoy most about my job is the daily interactions with the students.  Each day the students at Green Woods put a smile on my face, which is more than anyone can ask for while working at their job each day.  Children are funny and truthful and that’s what I love most about being at Green Woods.
