The Brella day

The Brella day

Few highlights of the day.

Morning circle

Everyday starts with a warm welcome as children gather to say hello, sing our greeting and calendar songs, and discuss the day ahead. We encourage participation at each child’s ability and help them feel confident in their role within the classroom.

Guided activities

Guided Activities introduce new concepts and are designed to be challenges that encourage growth and development. Activities are just beyond what the child is able to complete individually with ease, at which point the Teacher is there to guide, encourage, scaffold and support the exploration of the concept or project.

Literacy workshop

At Brella, the Literacy Workshop uses a unique blend of storytelling, movement and play to introduce early reading and writing skills and pique interest in academic concepts at all ages.

Movement & play

We offer ample time for children to move their bodies, play games and have fun outside and inside.

Small group activities

Small Group Activities at Brella are intentional provocations that invite 2-4 students to manipulate resources available in an open ended format. They are created to invoke moments of natural and healthy interactions where children are challenged to use their words, turn take and practice patience in close proximity play.

Morning/Afternoon snack

A break in the day’s activities for children to replenish with a healthy snack. Children are encouraged to eat as independently as possible. Snack usually occurs between 9-10AM and 2-3PM each day.

Lunch

An opportunity for children to have a longer meal together, we use lunch as an opportunity to work on social and emotional skills as well as to enjoy food together as a group. Lunch usually occurs between 11-12PM each day.

Rest

Children are offered an opportunity to rest between 12-2PM each day. Infants, sleep on their own schedules throughout the day. We provide freshly laundered linens and clean cots/cribs for each child.

The Brella curriculum

We teach children through guided and open-ended activities across a variety of subject matters and experiences. These explorations incite curiosity and develop proficiencies in cognitive thinking, language development, social and emotional skills, practical life skills, and fine and gross motor skills.

Our educators are trained in early childhood development and are passionate about inspiring young learners.

Brella’s curriculum doesn’t stop at pick-up. Our home curriculum extensions allow families to continue the learning through easy and fun activity ideas.
