The Worry Ends Here

Throughout the pandemic you have been worried.  Worried about your health, worried about the toll that the pandemic has taken on your family, and worried about your children and their education and social development.  

This September, schools, educators, parents and children are facing unprecedented challenges. You have so many questions and you need answers.  It’s time to stop the worry! You need a plan to enter this school year armed with the tools to tackle the tough stuff and come out of this as a stronger and, more resilient family.

It’s ok to have fear and anxiety about this unknown school year. We will help you navigate toward confidence.

By the end of this workshop, you will:

Calm fears, be prepared & enrich your family, as well as…​

  • Create a unique and critical link between the child, parent and teacher.
  • Support at home learning and create a positive space for cognitive and social development.
  • Determine which learning skills and habits best support your child.
  • Cultivate a positive mindset in your home.
  • Use solution-focused learning to create a family plan that will nurture and support your child.
  • Link happiness to education so your child can be happy at school!

My fascination with human potential started 20 years ago when my corporate role was to make people more successful than even they thought possible! The theory was to uncover and solidify a core belief of success in ordinary people, which was supported and empowered through coaching. I was a lead trainer in the Dale Carnegie program for both corporate & public programs, am a Certified Professional Coach and member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I use a combination of energy based coaching and positive psychology that allows clients to discover their purpose and potential to optimize their own gifts and talents.

I am a Certified Happiness Trainer from the Happiness Studies Academy and creator and host of The Happiness Show, a 12 episode series on Rogers TV.

My company is called Eudaimonia and offers coaching and training for individuals, schools and businesses. It brings together knowledge, technique, research, 30 years corporate experience, 10 years coaching experience, and faith in human possibility.

Testimonials

My son’s reading has come such a long way in a few short months thanks to Amanda’s strategies and teaching style.
Amanda encourages and shows the children that she believes in them so that they feel empowered to learn, and they learn to believe in themselves. Since beginning the program I’ve noticed an attitude shift and an increase in confidence while reading.
Thank you so much for everything you do!

Tammy has designed her learning space to be a welcoming, comforting, nurturing space. This allows her students to feel relaxed and secure while they learn. Tammy is passionate about teaching. She is extremely experienced and brings unique techniques to the learning experience to benefit every child.

Judy O'Donoghue
We have had a fantastic experience with Tammy from its 4 kids, our son went in with a level A reading level and has gone to a level E in a matter of a few short months. The program she has there is extremely effective, more effective then the program my sons school uses. We are really happy with all the progress our son has made. This is the place to go if your son or daughter need help with reading or writing and they offer math too
Celiegh Melo

I can’t even begin to thank Mrs Tangorra for all she has done for my grade 2 daughter. In November she was so behind and still couldn’t identify all the letters of the alphabet. After only 5 short months at Its4kids, my little one can finally read and write and her teacher no longer feels an IEP is necessary. She gave my daughter the tools and confidence she needed to succeed.

I highly recommend Mrs. Tangorra at It’s 4 Kids. Mrs.T has built a connection with my son that blends learning, engagement and positivity in a safe environment. My son is gaining the confidence and class skills he needs to improve his literacy skills. He enjoys the numeracy program as well. My son is proud of his reading skills he is achieving. We travel from Ancaster and are very happy with the continuous learning outcome. It’s 4 kids provides the missing link that my child’s school just can’t provide for him in a large class setting. Happy Mom and One very happy student! Thank you Amanda!

The Rennie Family

Our daughter started at It’s 4 Kids in 2016, when she was in Grade 2. Without It’s 4 Kids our daughter would not be where she is academically. It’s 4 Kids has also helped our daughter build her confidence with learning

Emily Witmer-Petitti

Can’t say enough for this program!! 8 weeks ago my son was missing 4 letters of his alphabet and could not read a single word. NOW, he knows his whole alphabet with sounds, can read 36 words and at a reading level 2. Completely AMAZING, his confidence is just brilliant!! Thank you Mrs. Tammy!!

Amy Reinhart

Wonderful.
He woke up this morning and he went to some vocab words we have and just wrote them all in his book. No one asked him to. And he came to me and showed me. He had written 25 words or so down…” to practise his printing”.
He was reading others while eating his breakfast.

I think he feels like he’s in some control and in being supported as so has helped his motivation.

Parent
Amazing experience for my daughter. She was struggling in Reading and writing and Tammy did wonders. She Started at Level D and now is at Grade 3 level Reading. Thank you so much It’s for Kids for giving my daughter confidence and Helping her through her struggle of reading.
