Our Educators
Brella teachers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience through diverse backgrounds across the fields of early childhood education, human development, psychology and more. Our team is committed to nurturing a child's foundational traits, or "Three C's": confidence in themselves, compassion for others, and curiosity about the world around them - and leverage our play-based curriculum inspired by Montessori, Reggio Emilia and RIE.
Teaching at Brella is designed for those who love to provide learning opportunities no matter how long or short of a time with a child in a dynamic work environment. We are designed to meet the changing needs of the communities we serve. As we grow, so will you - whether that's inside or outside of the classroom, our non-traditional model works best for educators that embrace change, are adaptable, and are passionate about changing an industry.
Educator Roles & Requirements
We welcome teachers and teacher aides with a variety of experiences from those still in the process of completing 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. Candidates for our teacher aide roles are required to have at least 6mo of relevant teacher aide experience and must be currently enrolled in a program where they will complete at least 3 units of coursework a semester until completing all 12 units required by Title 22.
- Teacher Aide roles are a great opportunity for educators to gain experience while still in the process of completing their 12 units of ECE coursework. Brella offers both Resource/Floater Teacher Aide and Classroom Teacher Aide positions.
- Resource/Floater Teacher roles are great for early-in-career educators with teacher assistant experience or those seasoned teachers who enjoy and want to explore different age ranges across our program by providing support to our classrooms during breaks, planning time, and covering for callouts.
- Teacher roles are 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. Our new Program Teacher role is perfect for a teacher desiring more exposure and experience across all areas of our program by stepping in to cover staffing gaps due to leaves of absence, PTO or turnover.
- Lead Teachers have strong communication skills whether it be navigating a difficult conversation with a parent or giving effective feedback to a co-teacher. We look for lead teachers that have previous experience in modeling best practices in a licensed center and coaching others.
