📣 Booking is now open for the month of September! Plan ahead and full time and part time child care in Playa Vista, Hollywood or Pasadena.
In September, we will explore the Tropical Forest. Also known as a rainforest, its warm temperature and consistent rain makes it a welcoming home for lots of plants and animals.
🐸 We will learn about the tropical forest's interesting animals like the quetzal and red-eyed tree frog.
😋 We will taste fruits of the rainforest like pitaya, ice cream bean fruit, aguaje and camu camu.
🪨 We will build rainforest terrariums complete with rocks, plants and animals.
.. and more!

Brella Mantra #5: Language matters - The way we speak to children shapes how they understand themselves and others. At Brella, we use needs-based language and non-violent communication to help children understand the why behind a situation, so they can problem solve with confidence and build empathy for those around them. When children feel understood, they learn to understand others.
🏡 Try this at home:
✔️Say what to do instead of what to stop.
✔️Name feelings to help your child make sense of their emotions.
✔️Explain the “why” in simple, clear language.
✔️Encourage problem-solving by asking “What can we do?”
✔️Model calm, respectful communication.

"...Brella Playa Vista is hands down the best child care you can get. The staff and teachers truly feel like family and I’m as excited as my kids are, to see them every morning for drop offs."

Recently, Lilac Class explored the magic of the ✨Northern Lights using color, movement and conversation to better understand natural phenomena and how they differ from familiar experiences like rainbows. This exploration encouraged curiosity, imagination and early scientific thinking.
What the children explored:
✨ Painting vibrant “light patterns” inspired by the Northern Lights
✨ Comparing rainbows and auroras through observation and discussion
✨ Responding to open-ended questions about weather, color and light
✨ Expressing their own interpretations through creative choices
By connecting science to art and conversation, children were able to explore complex ideas in a way that felt accessible and engaging.
Learning Outcomes:
✔️ Motor — Fine motor skills through painting and hand coordination
✔️ Social Emotional — Sharing materials and ideas with peers
✔️ Science/Earth — Understanding natural phenomena and environmental concepts
