Welcome to Homeschooling in Nova Scotia! I am Kimberly Charron, a retired homeschool mother of two living with my husband of almost 30 years in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I have been serving the homeschooling community by providing homeschool coaching, information, and support through Homeschooling in Nova Scotia since 2008. My own two children homeschooled all the way through high school graduation and went on to college and university.
When not helping parents, I work as an Online Business Manager and tech services provider. In my free time I like to perform in and direct local theatre, spin, knit, read, and horseback ride.
If you have a homeschool question, would like to inquire about my homeschool coaching, speaking, or a product or curriculum review, please feel free to contact me at kimberly @ homeschoolinginnovascotia.com (just take out the spaces before and after the @ symbol first). Or click the button below to schedule a homeschool coaching session with me.
