Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, yet navigating Quebec’s public education system can often feel overwhelming. Parents are expected to make important decisions, understand complex policies, and advocate for their children’s needs—often without the information, confidence, or support they deserve.
Hive Education Consulting was created to change that.
As an elementary educator, educational consultant, and parent, I have spent years working alongside students, families, educators, and school leaders. Through my classroom experience, my work as a pedagogical consultant, and my graduate studies in Educational Leadership at McGill University, I have witnessed both the incredible potential of collaborative partnerships and the barriers that can prevent children from receiving the support they need.
Those experiences inspired me to create Hive Education Consulting—a place where parents, educators, and organizations can come together to build stronger relationships, improve communication, and create better learning conditions for every student.
Most parents don’t know what they don’t know- until their child needs them to.
our approach
I believe that the best educational outcomes happen when families and schools work together.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and solution-focused. Rather than simply addressing challenges, I help families understand the education system, navigate complex situations with confidence, and develop practical strategies that keep children’s needs at the centre of every decision.
Whether I’m supporting a parent preparing for an IEP meeting, providing professional learning for educators, or consulting with community organizations, my goal is always the same:
Empower families with knowledge and confidence.
Strengthen communication and collaboration.
Promote inclusive, student-centred practices.
Create practical solutions that lead to lasting change.
why hive?
A hive is built on collaboration.
Every member has a role, and every contribution strengthens the whole community.
At Hive Education Consulting, I believe education works the same way. When parents, educators, schools, and community organizations work together with mutual respect and a shared purpose, students are better supported and more likely to succeed.
Together, we can transform uncertainty into confidence, challenges into opportunities, and advocacy into meaningful, lasting change.
Meet Chantal Kers
I’m an elementary educator, educational consultant, and parent of a child with learning disabilities, with over 20 years of experience supporting students, families, and schools across Quebec.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Concordia University and a Graduate Certificate in Educational Leadership from McGill University, with a focus on inclusive education. Throughout my career, I have taught in diverse classrooms, worked as a pedagogical consultant, developed professional learning for educators, and advocated alongside families navigating Quebec’s public education system.
Despite my professional background, advocating for my own daughter showed me just how overwhelming and emotionally complex the education system can be. I quickly realized that expertise alone doesn’t eliminate the challenges parents face when the issue is deeply personal. That experience gave me a new perspective and reinforced an important truth: most parents don’t know what they don’t know. They aren’t lacking dedication or determination—they simply haven’t been given the knowledge, tools, or guidance needed to confidently navigate the system.
That realization became the foundation for Hive Education Consulting.
Today, I bring together lived experience, educational expertise, and a collaborative approach to help families feel informed, empowered, and confident while working in partnership with schools to help every child thrive.
