MS.BRIANNA’SSECTIONMS. BRIANNA CEO, THE MUSE ACADEMY,
Check in with Ms. AHello, families, it’s Ms. A again! I’m back with one of my favorite things to do; writing this newsletter and checking in with our community. A warm hello to our long-time families and a special welcome to those I haven’t met yet. I used to work here at The Muse and stepped away for a few months, and it feels so good to return and see the same friendly faces, and new ones too! However, the very best part has been the children’s smiles and hugs! Among all the summer fun, I wanted to share something personal because I I truly see you all like family. While I was away, I welcomed a baby who is currently in the NICU, and my mom passed away shortly after. I have learned so much about life in these short months and have learned the true beauty behind living and truly feeling. Behind every smile you see there’s a story going on that we may not know about, and that’s why kindness matters so much. Please keep teaching your little ones to be kind and to treat others the way they’d want to be treated. I’m amazed at how much everyone has grown, so many new walkers, talkers with full sentences, and graduates moving on to new milestones. It’s surreal and so special to witness. I’ve missed you all so much, and I’m grateful to be back. Here’s to a season of growth, gentleness, and lots of joy together.
Building Independence! One of the greatest gifts we can give children is the confidence to do things for themselves. Encouraging independence helps build self-esteem, problem- solving skills, and a sense of responsibility. Here are a few simple ways to foster independence at home: Let your child put on their own shoes or jacket. Encourage them to clean up toys after playtime. Allow them to help with simple chores, like setting the table or putting clothes in the hamper. Give them opportunities to make age-appropriate choices, such as picking between two outfits or choosing a snack. Remember, it may take a little extra time, but allowing children to practice these everyday skills helps them grow into confident, capable learners. Celebrate their efforts, not just the outcome!Parent Corner
