A Thoughtfully Blended Curriculum for Every Learner
Meraki Learning Center believes children learn best through play and exploration. We work to engage children’s natural desire to learn by providing experiences that spark curiosity. We also consider that not all children process information the same way, so we plan activities that engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners.

Meraki Learning Center monitors each child’s development using curriculum-based checklists to assess skill levels across all domains. The purpose of this checklist is to help teachers and parents understand where their child is excelling and where additional support might be needed.
During the first few weeks of enrollment, staff will use a checklist to assess a child’s skill level. Assessment is conducted through play and direct observation of the child.
Developmental Milestones
Treatment Plans
Teachers develop a treatment plan with learning objectives targeted to support necessary developmental skills. Learning objectives are implemented throughout the day, and consistent data are collected, analyzed, and shared with the team.
The goal of a treatment plan is to identify areas of need and develop learning objectives to address those needs.

Behavior Management
Meraki Learning Center understands that challenging behaviors happen. While our program embeds preventative strategies, we recognize some children may require additional supports.

If the team of teachers identifies challenging behaviors that interfere with programming, the following plan of action is to be discussed and reviewed with families:
Review of learning objectives to ensure targets match the child’s skill level

Review of learning environment to ensure group settings are appropriate for the child’s skill level

Functional Behavior Assessment conducted by a behavior specialist to learn specific triggers, identify the causes of challenging behavior, and identify alternative behaviors to be taught that meet the child’s needs in a more appropriate manner

Social Emotional Development
At Meraki Learning Center, we understand that social and emotional development is foundational for preschool-aged children. That’s why we take a positive behavior approach—creating a fun, welcoming environment where every child feels seen, supported, and safe.
We believe that all behavior is a form of communication. Our goal is to uncover what a child may be expressing and help them build the skills to communicate more clearly and appropriately. Through the use of applied behavior analysis (ABA), a low teacher-to-child ratio, and ongoing data collection and analysis, we tailor support to meet each child’s unique needs and guide meaningful growth.
