Welcome to the Counseling Corner!
Silo Early Childhood – Pre-K through 2nd Grade
Partnering with students, families, and teachers to help little learners grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
Character Strong
At Silo Early Childhood, we use CharacterStrong’s PurposeFull People program to help students develop important skills for success in school, relationships, and life.
The program focuses on three goals:
💛 Be Kind — Building friendships, empathy, respect, cooperation, and problem-solving skills.
💪 Be Strong — Developing responsibility, courage, perseverance, focus, and goal-setting skills.
🌈 Be Well — Learning to understand emotions, manage stress, practice gratitude, and develop healthy coping skills.
Throughout the year, families will receive information about the skills we are learning, along with conversation starters and simple ways to practice them at home.
Together, we are helping our students build strong relationships, solve problems, grow life skills, and become PurposeFull People!
