About the owner
Kimberly Simpson is a BC Certified teacher who currently holds a valid teaching certificate through the BC College of Teachers. Her own curiosity, creativity and flexible thinking helped inspire her own students to think ‘out of the box’ when working on tasks and projects. As well as fostering mutual respect between herself and her students, she was able to help engage their creativity and curiosity about learning.
Kimberly grew up in the Shuswap. After completing high school there, she started off her university career at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. In 2000, she transferred to University of Victoria where in 2004 she completed her Bachelor of Elementary Education and graduated with honors, as well as receiving her British Columbia Teaching Certificate.
In 2004 she moved to Williams Lake, where she finished off the school year working in the school district. Throughout the next two years, she was able to enjoy many different teaching opportunities, from working in remote communities such as Alexis Creek, to the diverse schools within the city. Each position gave Kimberly greater knowledge and insight into how children responded to daily education.
Kimberly then moved to Quesnel, where she currently lives, and worked as a Teacher On Call with School District #28. Here, she had more opportunities to work with high school and learning assistance students. She discovered that techniques to help young children learn also helped teenagers to regain their creativity and curiosity. As a Teacher On Call, Kimberly was exposed to many different classroom situations. However, Kimberly remained consistent, friendly and respectful, which helped to put the students at ease.
Continuing to learn about education, she discovered the online, alternate and homeschooling world. While continuing to work with the school district, she found that these students were able to learn and teach themselves in many different situations. This intrigued Kimberly, and her innate sense of curiosity and enthusiasm for learning led her to a job with an online school.
Here, she was given the task of going into the houses of homeschooling families and helping children with disabilities adapting and modifying the curriculum to suite the child. In the three years she worked with this school, she was able to see her three high-functioning autistic students graduate.
These students were the ones who encouraged and inspired Kimberly to set up Momentum Learning Centre. Through her many experiences, Kimberly saw a need to develop a place where children can explore that curiosity and excitement for learning. By becoming creative and curious learners, they can learn to cope with everyday life, support their skills in school, and expand their knowledge in areas they might need assistance.
Kimberly is excited to share her enthusiasm for learning with you. So, come visit Momentum Learning Centre or give us a call!
