Empowering Children Today
Our Founder
Hello! I’m Amanda, an educator with over 30 years of experience spanning both the Caribbean and Canada. I have had the privilege of teaching and facilitating diverse groups, ranging from children as young as five to individuals aged 70. My expertise also includes facilitating parent groups.
Throughout my journey, I've witnessed students facing challenges emotionally, socially, and academically, with each aspect significantly influencing the others. Many of them struggled with self-confidence and lacked the necessary tools to navigate their socio-emotional learning and executive functioning skills. This realization inspired the creation of Spark Hope for Kids, where it is believed that every child has the potential to shine. This is where my passion truly aligns with my purpose.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a world where all children have the tools and confidence to believe in themselves, honour their uniqueness, and become resilient leaders of tomorrow. Through culturally relevant and accessible resources, we aim to spark hope and possibility, ensuring that no child's potential is limited by circumstance.
Our Mission
At Spark Hope for Kids, our mission is to empower children from diverse and equity-deserving families by providing enriching programs and printable resources that foster growth in social and emotional development. We are committed to creating inclusive spaces where every child can thrive, regardless of their background, income, or lived experiences.
Our Philosophy
Our Approach to Programs and Printable Resources
At Spark Hope for Kids, we believe every child deserves access to enriching programs and empowering tools—regardless of their background, income, or lived experiences. Our approach is intentionally inclusive, serving diverse families and prioritizing the needs of equity-deserving communities so that every child can thrive.
We offer hands-on workshops and printable resources designed to spark growth in key areas of social and emotional development. These include:
- 🌟 Gratitude Workshops that foster empathy and appreciation
- 🧘 Mindfulness Programs that help children manage stress and boost focus
- 🤝 Etiquette Training that builds social confidence and respectful communication
- 🧠 Executive Functioning Skills Training that strengthens planning, attention, and emotional regulation
All programs are informed by developmental research and tailored to be culturally relevant, accessible, and affirming. Our printable resources are designed for flexible use at home, school, or in community settings—meeting families where they are with encouragement and support.
Spark Hope for Kids is more than a set of services—it’s a movement that empowers children to believe in themselves, honor their uniqueness, and become resilient leaders of tomorrow. Fueled by our founder’s passion and unwavering vision, we create spaces where possibility isn’t limited by circumstance, and hope is just the beginning.
Our Workshops
At Spark Hope for Kids, we believe that every child deserves access to workshops and tools that ignite confidence, curiosity, and real-world readiness. Our approach blends hands-on learning with research-informed strategies to ensure kids aren’t just participating—they’re thriving.
For children aged 6 to 12 years old, we provide in-person workshops that focus on self-confidence, mindfulness, etiquette, and transitioning from elementary school to high school. These hands-on experiences are crafted to inspire and equip young minds with the tools they need to thrive in their personal and academic journeys.
