About Us

  
    Brainy Alley was launched in Connecticut by Kirti Vyas, an extreme mom, a substitute teacher and a writer, currently honing her craft at the Institute of Children’s Literature. She also writes web content and user manuals as well as stories for her children and their friends. She believes that creativity can be taught, and success is more than a goal—it is an attitude.

    While coaching creative programs previously, Kirti found that many children were too busy for long-term commitments but needed a program where they could explore creativity and extend their minds. This formed an important guideline in designing Brainy Alley as a series of classes, each with its own theme and set of activities. All hands-on activities have been co-created and tested for "intelligent fun" with her older son, Shaamil Sage Vyas, an engineering student at Clarkson University. Counselors are trained to nurture creativity and mutual respect among the students.

    Kirti has a Master's degree in Education, and lives in Southern Connecticut with her husband,a "go-to person" who usually has an answer or will find one, a younger son who asks ingenious questions, and a very talkative dog. Contact her at info@brainyalley.com
