Nicol Smith

Program Manager/Teacher

Nicol has been teaching at the Bearcamp Valley School & Children's Center for over 7 years. Nicol was also a student here, participating in the After-School program during her early school years. She has lived in Tamworth all her life and started at BVS&CC as the After-School Program teacher. She loved making arts and crafts projects with the students, and with a little persuasion from Mrs. Coville, who says "she is a natural", Nicol stayed at BVS&CC to teach the Kindergarten program. Nicol's patience, enthusiasm and dedication make her a teacher students are lucky to have. Nicol also enjoys Alpine and Cross-Country skiing, snowmobiling, reading, and playing with her dog, Nugs.
