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.

Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to utilize a balanced, hybrid model that combines the nurturing, creativity-fostering principles of play-based learning with the evidence-based, systematic strategies of applied behavior analysis. This approach ensures that children are engaged in enjoyable, naturalistic environments while simultaneously receiving instruction rooted in proven behavioral science to promote skill acquisition and generalization.

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

Review of learning goals to ensure targets match the child’s skill level

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.
