Meet the Teachers
Dedicated & Committed
MARGARET SARDINIA
Margaret Sardinia has been teaching at Hamburg Nursery School since 2001. She graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio with a Bachelor's degree in Education. She resides in the village with her husband, Tim and has four adult sons. She loves animals and has chickens, two dogs, a cat, a tortoise and a pond full of fish. After sending all four of her boys through the program she knew Hamburg Nursery School was a special place and didn't want to leave. She feels blessed to work in such a happy environment surrounded by curious young minds and involved and supportive families. Her goal is to provide a warm, loving atmosphere for each child’s first school experience. She loves watching the children progress from wary toddlers to confident and prepared children ready for the challenges of kindergarten. In her spare time she loves to travel, read and garden.
Beth Stormer
Beth Stormer has been assisting the HNS teaching staff through the first few transitional weeks of the school year and as a substitute teacher. She was delighted to become a permanent member of the teaching staff in April 2023. She is a graduate of Thiel College in Greenville, PA,
where she met her husband Doug. They have three children and two grandchildren: Natalie (husband Collin, Josephine and Teddy), Philip and Aydan. The caring, loving, nurturing environment that Beth appreciated as a parent when her son Aydan attended from 2004-2006 has carried on through the years and she is now happy to continue to carry on that tradition in her role as teacher. She loves seeing how the children change and grow as they play, learn, sing and interact with one another throughout the school year. In her spare time, Beth enjoys daily walks with her dog Henry, reading, practicing yoga, traveling, and having fun with her grandchildren.
Natalie McArdle
Natalie McArdle is thrilled to start in her role as teacher at Hamburg
Nursery School. Natalie graduated from Westminster Choir College with a
Bachelor of Music in Music Education and from the University at Buffalo
with an Educational Masters. Natalie and her husband Collin have three
children – they loved watching their oldest go through Hamburg Nursery
School and are so excited for the younger two to have the same wonderful
experience.
Teaching has always brought Natalie joy and she is so excited to bring that
love to Hamburg Nursery School. She believes in the importance of
creating a classroom community where children feel safe and loved and
what better time than their first experience at school. When she is not busy
with her own little kids, she enjoys singing, reading and yoga.
