Not every hour costs the same

The price of an hour decreases as you book more hours over the course of the month. See how the pricing changes below. Hours canceled within the cancelation window are credited in the opposite order they were purchased.

Why do we Price this Way? 

Our pricing looks different from other schools, because we prioritize fairness and transparency. Here are two common pricing practices that disadvantage families that you will NOT find at Brella. 

1. At Other Schools, You Pay for Days without Care

Other schools charge for days when the school is closed or you don’t need care, making families pay for NO services.

   Let’s break this down:

  –  Fictional School’s monthly tuition: $2300

   – Daily rate: $130 per day

   – Closed/unused for 5 days this month (Holiday, training day, illness, etc)

   – Total cost for closed days: 5 × $130 = $650 with NO care provided

In contrast, Brella charges only for days you use. During those same 5 unusable days, you pay $0 – not a penny for days without care. 

2. At Other Schools, Hidden Fees and Costs Inflate Monthly Bills. 

Many schools impose various fees, hidden costs, and extra expenses that inflate monthly bills including:

   – Application and waitlist fees

   – Material fees

   – Fundraising contributions

   – Enrichment program charges

Brella has NO hidden costs. By eliminating unexpected charges, Brella enables families to budget effectively and make informed decisions without financial surprises. 

3. Other schools do not offer credits for days canceled. 

At other schools, you don’t get your money back if your plans change. At Brella, if you cancel within our cancellation window you will receive credit back to your account to use for the future.
