Briella Taylor is excited to begin another school year as the Preschool Community and Parent Involvement Specialist (CPIS) and Preschool Social Worker (Kresson Preschool, Fervent Beginnings, and Today's Learning Center). Briella holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work. She strongly believes that families are a child’s first and most important teachers.

Briella’s mission is to ensure that every preschool family feels welcomed, supported, and included throughout their child’s educational journey. In her role, she connects families with helpful resources, referrals, and community services. She also coordinates family events and workshops through the Preschool Community Events Calendar and connects families with Family Workers, Social Workers, and local agencies when additional support is needed.

As Chair of the Early Childhood Advisory Council, Briella is committed to listening to families and building strong, lasting partnerships between home, school, and the community. She looks forward to working alongside families throughout the school year to support every child’s growth, development, and success!
