About Brainiax

Brainiax was founded by an experienced educator that believes in offering a stimulating safe environment for young learners. Brainiax believes that every child is unique and when presented with a talented teacher, all children will shine! Our inclusive program focuses on each child’s cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development. Brainiax incorporates a strong literacy and math program. In addition, we offer S.T.E.A.M., Science, Engineering, Spanish and more in order to engage imaginations, foster creativity and allow for early learners to explore and grow.

Preschool

Brainiax Preschool offers a 2:5 ratio led by a certified teacher with a master’s degree with a dual degree in elementary education and special education. Our small class size allows for much needed individualized attention, with the help of our aide. Brainiax provides a nurturing and safe learning environment for children to master key concepts, explore, experiment, and learn through play. The program provides structured learning time to build strong academic foundations, collaborative purposeful play opportunities, and gross motor exploration time in a sensory gym.

My daughters took a class here and had the best time! They were so excited about all the different activities and begged me to sign them up again!

My son attended a lego class and he was thrilled before it started and was even more excited after class. He had a great time, and had lots of new information to share afterwards. He is excited about returning and keeps asking when he can go next! My husband and I are also so excited […]

My 4 year old son took a LEGO class and a Dinosaur class and loved both! He had a blast and learned a lot! The teachers are great and the facility is so nice. We look forward to many more classes at Brainiax!
