Our Story
Debra Kirchen — a teacher, experienced business owner and mother of two — founded Brainiax – Innovative Learning Center with the intention of providing fun interactive learning opportunities. She recognized that her community was in need of more after-school activities. Debra worked hard to construct a safe, mentally stimulating and fun environment for all elementary and preschool age children. Our ultimate goal is to offer an environment for children to expand upon their social skills, confidence, academic knowledge and problem-solving skills.
Innovative Learning
Brainiax provides interactive learning programs both online and in-person. Courses include KidPrenuerz taught by the owner in additional to other fun interactive learning programs.
Our in-person programs present at-home small group science and engineering based activities for elementary age students. Our unique programs provides children with access to science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in order to build crucial problem-solving and teamwork skills.
Brainiax Beliefs
We believe that young minds are creative and uninhibited — that’s why our Brainiax programs are geared for young children up through elementary school.
By introducing our curriculum to parents and young children, families are then encouraged to embrace creativity and innovation. Hands-on tinkering, science exploration and engineering benefits people of all ages as it boosts confidence, reduces academic anxiety, increases teamwork skills and drives motivation to learn new skills.

My kids did the mini camp and LOVED it. We ended up signing up for 2 more classes! Can’t say enough wonderful things about the space and staff. Highly recommend!
Prepares children to meet the higher order standards set forth in the Core Curriculum Standards. Highly recommend. Run by a director who truly is invested in the education of children, and what it means to provide high quality programming.
My son took a lego class at Brainiax he was thrilled about this class 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 for a new business like Brainiax- it is def what the town to Livingston needed! Can’t wait to sign my daughter up also.
My son took the trial LEGO class and had such a great time! He loved that the room was set up with stations to try different LEGO projects and areas of free play. He especially enjoyed the challenges at each activity (and I loved that he was learning scientific concepts while he thought he was just playing!). He can’t wait to take a class in the Fall!
My daughters took a class here and absolutely loved it! The teacher taught them so much and was so patient with them – even with the 3 year old!! The facility is beautiful, too! I can’t wait to see everything my kids learn there!

STE[A]M, What is it? Why Brainiax feels it’s important?
STE[A]M stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.
Brainiax fosters children’s development of STEAM skills by providing learning opportunities and materials that support exploration and discovery.
STE[A]M’s five subject areas share a common approach and focus; they require gathering and using evidence to create knowledge or solve problems. Research shows there is a positive relationship between early STE[A]M experiences and future success in school.
