✨Feature Friday: Miss Juliette! ✨
Our boss has been writing our Feature Fridays for everyone else and told us she wasn’t writing one for herself… so we took it upon ourselves to write a Feature Friday about the person who truly keeps this ship afloat!
Miss Juliette has stepped into the role of interim director while our current director is on maternity leave. In her short time as director, she has faced numerous challenges, but through every one of them, she has continued to carry herself with grace while managing those around her with respect, patience and composure.
Miss Juliette leads our team with collaboration as a main focus. She shows us that leadership is a team effort and actively seeks out and values the input of others. She is always thinking of those around her, making sure every voice is heard and every opinion is respected. She is her employees biggest advocate and always stands behind their thoughts and opinions. While she always keeps the best interests of the daycare and staff at the forefront of every decision, she is also incredibly decisive. When she makes a decision, she stands by it and sees it through — something we truly admire about her.
Miss Juliette is also never afraid to get her hands dirty and shows us every day that she is part of our team through and through. Whether she’s changing diapers during a busy time, helping with lunches or transitions, shoveling pea gravel on the playground, helping with tricky behaviors, leading an activity, or cleaning — she is right there alongside us. She shows us that she is never above her staff and would never ask us to do something she wouldn’t do herself.
And of course, Miss Juliette is loved by all of our littles! You know the minute she enters a room because it is immediately filled with excitement and “Hi Miss Juliette!” from every direction.
What we love and respect most about Miss Juliette is her honesty. She has an open-door policy and is always willing to lend an ear, whether we simply need someone to listen or we need help working through a problem. She is patient, compassionate, open-minded and genuinely cares about the people she leads.
When staff were asked how they would describe Miss Juliette as a boss, the words that came up were kind, hardworking, easygoing, thoughtful and always willing to help. Miss Juliette, we truly can’t thank you enough for everything you do for our team. You stepped into a challenging role and have handled it with so much strength, grace and heart. You support us, listen to us, work alongside us and remind us every day what it means to be a great leader.
