In the bubbly boisterous land of New Jersey, a swarm of young, bright-eyed explorers called Kids of STEM/STEAM, or as we like to call them, "Brainy Bunch," are always on a whimsical adventure. This sunny state, shaped like a jigsaw puzzle piece, is home to a variety of enchanting landscapes, from the sparkling Atlantic coastline to the dizzying heights of the Appalachian Mountains. But what makes it even more magical are the giggling troves of Brainy Bunch, each armed with their favorite tool – be it a microscope, a paintbrush, or a robot they've built from scratch! Our very own Brainy Bunch are not ordinary kids. They are super kids! They can unravel the mysteries of the universe, decode the language of computers, build towering structures, create enchanting melodies and paint their dreams into reality – all before they sit down for lunch! Our fearless friend, Bucky the Beaver, is their guide. Bucky, with his magnetic personality, and an infectious laugh that sounds like water splashing against the river rocks, wears a shiny lab coat adorned with all sorts of peculiar gadgets, all as colorful as his personality! In the heart of New Jersey, the Brainy Bunch, led by Bucky, turn ordinary days into extraordinary explorations. They dive into the ocean’s depths to converse with curious creatures, climb mountains to chat with chirpy birds, delve into dark caves to investigate hidden treasures, and even travel to the mysterious realms of outer space! Yes, it's funny, but it's also true! Because in the land of New Jersey, the Brainy Bunch knows no boundaries. Every day is a new journey, every moment a new discovery, and every laugh a celebration of their shared love for STEM/STEAM.

Our philosophy is to meet children where they are developmentally, and then help them get to where they need to go. We offer individualized guidance to each child and strive to make their experience meaningful. We value each child’s unique learning style and create engaging activities that foster a lifelong love of books and learning. At our school, we are committed to providing a developmentally appropriate experience that prepares children for the years ahead. We believe in making the most of the critical learning period between birth and five years of age, as this time is essential to a child’s growth and development. Our approach to teaching literacy to our youngest children is balanced and comprehensive. We use a variety of methods to teach literacy, such as reading aloud, teaching mini-lessons, using books, puppets, games, role-playing, toys, and more. We believe that by immersing children in a variety of activities, they can develop a lifelong love of books and learning. Learn more about our Infant, Toddler and 2-Year Old programs today.
