Dr. Cynthia Skyers-Gordon has been an outstanding mentor and coordinator within our preschool program. She brings a deep understanding of best practices in early childhood education and consistently offers constructive feedback, unwavering support, and practical strategies that can be applied directly in the classroom.

Her insight into early childhood milestones and challenges allows her to effectively guide educators, support students, and collaborate meaningfully with families. Dr. Skyers-Gordon’s approach is thoughtful, responsive, and grounded in real classroom experience. I truly value the opportunity to work with her and appreciate her dedication to supporting my growth as an educator.

Thank you, Dr. Skyers-Gordon, for everything you do to uplift and support our program and its teachers.

Dr. Cynthia Skyers-Gordon, Ed.D. is the founder of SILWELL-C (Staff-Inspired Leadership for Wellness and Calm), a wellness initiative created to empower educators, leaders, and teams to thrive from within. With more than 33 years of experience in early childhood education, from assistant teacher to director to Education Coordinator, Dr. Skyers-Gordon understands the challenges and opportunities staff face each day.

SILWELL-C was born from her belief that true wellness in schools starts with the staff themselves.

Through workshops, consultations, and creative resources, Dr. Skyers-Gordon combines her in-depth expertise with a passion for cultivating resilience, connection, and calm in every space. Whether it’s through her upcoming Wellness Toolkit, the JamBel Storybook, or the Free Wellness Hub, she continues to design practical ways for educators and leaders to sustain their own wellness while inspiring others.

At its core, SILWELL-C is more than a program; it’s a movement: a reminder that when staff lead with wellness, schools grow with strength, calm, and confidence.
