Kimberley Ellis has worked as an elementary teacher for 24 years.  She began her teaching career in New Zealand and has worked in the Upper Grand District School Board for the past 22 years, learning alongside children from ages 4-12. Kimberley shares her passion for the Earth and the Arts with her students and desires to create a learning environment that honours all aspects of the human experience: spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical. She believes that guiding children to connect with their inner wisdom, deepen their connection with the Earth and find their place of belonging will set the foundation for embarking on their own personal journeys in a way that works in harmony with the Earth.
