    We have been with NY Smart Start for over 3 years and it has been an absolutely phenomenal place…read morefor my children to learn everything from the basics in reading, math, science, geography to etiquette and everything in between. I saw them morph from toddlers who could barely trace to reading books before the age of 5 and embrace learning with profound curiosity and precocious inquisitiveness. This school is unique in many aspects which I think all stem from its principal, Nicky. She is extremely passionate about teaching, compassionate to all children, a fair disciplinarian with high professional integrity and overall a selfless person. My children feel like it is their second home and many times ask to be picked up later. We are truly a family here and feel very hurt by the malicious words about our school.

    NY Smart Start was a tutoring center that turned into a "home school". This school was recommended…read moreby a friend whose daughter no longer attends it. I thought the idea of having only 3-4 kids in a classroom would be great for my son since he would get the attention and help needed to excel in school. I was worried that transitioning from a daycare setting to a school setting may be hard and wanted only the best for my son. The price was very expensive compared to other schools, $1,200 per month from 8:45 am - 3pm plus an additional $350 for the after school program. Although this school offered no breakfast, no lunch meals, no security at the premises, no cameras which were "promised" by Nicky Varisov AKA Nika the "principal" of the school. We decided to try it out solely on the fact of the amount of students in the classroom. It has become the most stressful and hardest transition for our family that we regret so much. In about less than 3 weeks, my son has been in three incidents with older students who are not in the same grade or classroom as him where he came home with bruises and scratches on his neck and face. The staff in the school along with the principal Nika belittled my son in numerous ways. After one of the incidents happened he ran to report it to one of the staff members and the principle Nika stated that if he continued to "tattle tale", he would not make any friends in this school and, apparently, be subjected to a more physical type of response without supervisors intervening. On that occasion, an older student grabbed my son and choked him, yet my son was criticized for "tattle taling". When my fiancee picked up my son that day, she gave him a brief explanation of how she was present during this incident but refused to get in between because "this is a school with different morals that are not in style with the American way of schooling". My fiancee and I were very upset and worried when we spoke about the situation later that evening and decided we both show up in the morning to speak on this situation when we dropped off our son. The following morning we tried to communicate with the principle Nika about how worried we were that this happened and the response from Nika was "I have no time to discuss this situation as I spoke with your fiancee yesterday and explained to him what happened". She refused to hear us out or assure that she would run a facility safe for our son and other students. Principal Nika neglected to provide my son a safe environment in this facility, which is located in a private house. She refused to address this situation and continued to state that she has no time for us. We were very frustrated with how she handled this matter but did not want to make a scene and decided to "let it go" on the outside chance that WE were taking it more seriously than we ought to. Following that incident, my son's entire regard for and attitude toward going to school has changed and he attempts to have us let him stay home. While we encouraged him to continue and anticipated that this event would be worked past in time, we were sorely disappointed. The second week, my son came home with a swollen eye and a bruise near it. The staff-member's explanation was that my son and another student were playing with a ball and ended up head-butting each other. My question is why only my son had a resulting injury from this incident. Another incident in another week's time, but very understandable based on the staff-member's explanation and my son did confirm he got hit while playing ball with another child so we both let this go as well. We can understand accidents happen, especially with young children. However, a third incident occurred on what became his last day attending their school. Another classmate hit my son on the face because my son was apparently playing with a toy that child wanted to play with as well. Principal Nika stated to my fiancee when he came to pick up my son that it would be better for my son to be taken out of the after school program. The result being that my 4 year old son needed to be taken out of after school program because another child hit him in the face. How exactly was it my son's fault? Principal Nika then said "We don't have enough teachers/staff to watch all the kids during after school and we would not be able to observe/prevent all incidents with students". My fiancee told Nika that we are pulling him out of that school and this isn't working out. Principal Nika is not properly running the facility, admittedly understaffing it and under-supervising young children. It seems that it is only a matter of time before serious harm is done to one or more children due to their facility's operation. We are very upset with our experience, but now feel it is our obligation to ensure that others are not subjected to the same and potentially much worse.
