About Brella

Brella is a pioneering organization dedicated to revolutionizing the way we nurture the next generation. Founded by two visionary mothers, Brella aims to create a flexible and innovative model of care that caters to the dynamic needs of modern families while ensuring the best possible developmental experience for children.

Our Locations

Brella has multiple locations across the region, each offering a unique and supportive environment for children to thrive. Our centers are designed to provide a safe and stimulating space for children to learn and grow.

Our Educators

Brella's educators are a diverse and talented group of professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their roles. They are committed to nurturing a child's foundational traits, or 'Three C's': confidence, compassion, and curiosity. Our educators leverage a play-based curriculum inspired by Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE to create a rich and engaging learning environment.

Teaching at Brella

Teaching at Brella is designed for individuals who are passionate about providing high-quality learning opportunities for children in a dynamic and supportive environment. We offer a range of roles, from teacher aides to lead teachers, and provide opportunities for growth and advancement.

Educator Roles and Requirements

We welcome teachers and teacher aides with a variety of experiences, from those still completing their Early Childhood Education credits to seasoned educators. All of our educators provide a safe and loving environment for children aged 3 months to 6 years while modeling empathy, respect, and gentle guidance.

Role Descriptions
  • Teacher Aide: A great opportunity for educators to gain experience while completing their 12 units of ECE coursework. Brella offers both Resource/Floater Teacher Aide and Classroom Teacher Aide positions.
  • Resource/Floater Teacher: Ideal for early-in-career educators with teacher assistant experience or seasoned teachers who enjoy exploring different age ranges across our program. This role provides support to our classrooms during breaks, planning time, and covering for callouts.
  • Teacher: An opportunity to focus on a specific age range while diving deeper into our play-based curriculum, planning, flow of day, documentation, and communicating effectively with the team, children, and parents.
  • Lead Teacher: A role that requires strong communication skills, whether navigating a difficult conversation with a parent or giving effective feedback to a co-teacher. We look for lead teachers with previous experience in modeling best practices in a licensed center and coaching others.
