Kindergarten
BA

Mrs. Nataliya Pankiv was born and raised in Ukraine, where she graduated high school and earned her Master in German Language and Literature. Mrs. Pankiv’s biggest dream was teaching students, which is why shortly after moving to the USA she enrolled in a Master Teacher Program at Gwynedd-Mercy University. Upon ending her study, Mrs. Pankiv received her PreK-4 certification and joined our team at OLM to teach kindergarten. 

Mrs. Pankiv had started her teaching career back in Ukraine where she taught first grade at a local Catholic School that her daughter attended. She had also tutored English and German to young students, worked at International Montessori Schools and Malvern School, as well as substituted in a first grade classroom at Cole Manor Elementary Norristown School District.

Mrs. Pankiv has been married to her husband Ihor for 20 years and they have two beautiful daughters Solomiya and Magdalena. She loves spending time with her family, going to the shore, working in a garden, playing piano, and baking. Mrs. Pankiv believes that her love of learning and her caring personality will help her make a great impact on the education of young students at OLM.
