Everyday Heroes: Mabelton daycare worker goes viral after video seen 15 million times
Daycare worker goes viral with 'ABC' song remix
An 'Everyday Hero' doesn’t necessarily have to be someone who swoops in from the sky, wearing a giant cape to save the day. Brian Macon is someone who puts a smile on the faces of one-year-olds at his daycare. Little did he know he would end up having an audience of millions!
MABLETON, Ga. - The star at the center of it, is Kids 'R' Kids of Mableton’s after-school program director, affectionately known here, as Mr. Brian.
"I was going through classes like I usually do. Checking on everybody… We went from ABC’s to krumping, you know, that’s our normal!" says Brian Macon.
Brian’s co-worker captured the adorable moment of him singing and dancing to a song about the alphabet, with a group of one-year-olds at the daycare. As of Monday, it was at 15 million views.
"It was so genuine because that’s genuinely how Mr. Brian is," says Jonathan Cole, whose daughter was also seen interacting in the video.
"The [Instagram] comments, and I agree with them, were ‘This is what we need in the classroom,’ ‘We need more teachers like this,’ ‘I wish I had teachers like this,’ ‘This is what our kids need to nourish and grow,’" says Michelle Mumpower whose son was also seen in the video
Comments that make it fitting for Mr. Brian to be recognized to as an Everyday Hero… with some pretty good dance moves to boot!
"When I come through those doors and Mr. Brian is at the door, I’m here for them to make them have a good day," says Brian.
