Brainiax Innovative Learning Center offers a small private preschool program that focuses on each child’s cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development. The program incorporates S.T.E.A.M. concepts (Science, Technology/Robotics, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) into all areas of the curriculum in order to engage imaginations, instruct and allow for early learners to explore and grow. The daily schedule is filled with hands-on opportunities to build on the natural curiosity of all children. Through project-based, inquiry-driven activities, the children explore and discover the world around them while learning literacy, problem solving skills, and collaboration techniques.
Brainiax offers diverse and engaging programs at Brainiax and at local schools. Our programs are well suited for all types of learners and we aim to provide a fun and engaging experience. Our Philosophy is that all children can learn when provided with an instructor that loves to teach. Brainiax offers Chess, Science, Technology/Robotics, Engineering, Art, and LEGO. Our classes aid in building crucial problem-solving and teamwork skills.
The founder is a teacher, experienced business owner and mother of two. Brainiax Innovative Learning Center was founded with the intention of providing a S.T.E.A.M. influenced safe environment for preschoolers and elementary level students. Our founder recognized that her own children were in need of more hands-on interactive after-school programs so she worked hard to construct a safe, mentally stimulating and fun environment for all learners.

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!
