About The Publisher: Nicole Hickoff

Nicole and her kids

Hi!  I am Nicole. I am the new publisher for the Williamsport area.  Having grown up just over the river and living just down the river, I know this area well!  My kids are 5 years old and love the outdoors like me and my husband.  As a family, we love to explore our community and the outdoors.  We often travel to our cabin above Renovo for weekends to unplug and reconnect. 

A little about me: 

I am a former elementary teacher.  I taught 6th and 3rd grade at Line Mountain School District.  I loved being the classroom and often reminisce about my teaching days (although as a parent, I am always teaching).  After my husband, Jesse, and I had our twins I resigned to stay home with them.  After they turned 2 I decided I needed to do something to fill the teaching void I felt in my heart.  After some soul searching, I decided to become a Tinkergarten Leader!  I LOVE it.  I am in  my 3rd year of leading with my kids by my side!  

I became a publisher for Macaroni Kid when I realized that if there wasn't a publisher, then there wasn't an events calendar (I depended on that to keep my sanity and to find our family fun).  My dear friend, Nikki, was the former publisher and after chatting with her I decided to give it a try!  Boy, am I glad I did.  I love writing insightful articles and providing family fun ideas for the families in the Williamsport and surrounding areas!  

My favorite beach town is Cape May, NJ and my favorite mountain/lake town is Lake Placid, NY.  I look forward to providing insightful articles and fun activities to do with your family!

Cheers, 

Nicole
