About Brainiax

A Place Where Education & Exploration Come Together In Perfect Harmony

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 unique enrichment classes including S.T.E.A.M., Science, Engineering, Mini Chefs, Spanish and more in order to engage imaginations, foster creativity and allow for early learners to explore and grow.

Brainiax Preschool offers a 2:5 teacher to student ratio with a certified teacher with a Master’s in Education, dual degree Special Ed and assistant teacher. Our small class size allows for much needed individualized attention during your child’s formative years. Brainiax provides a nurturing and safe learning environment for children to master key concepts, explore, experiment, and learn through play. We are a tight-knit school family that encourages creativity, exploration and growth. The classroom community allows children to learn active listening skills and we offer much needed collaborative purposeful play opportunities. The program provides structured learning time as well as hands-on opportunities to build strong academic foundations.
