Preschool Explorers Class

True story: I started FasTracKids at age four, not knowing any English. I now attend an Ivy League school. There is *no* way that I would be here without this center. FasTracKids taught me enough English that I wasn't placed into a single ESL course upon starting kindergarten. The Eye Level curriculum made it so that I was academically ahead all throughout elementary and middle school. Eye Level SHSAT tutoring was what got me into my dream high school, which then enabled me to get into the college I now attend. I highly, highly, highly, recommend this place to anyone looking to get their kids ahead in school and on track for good futures- speaking from experience, it works.

Great School. Our child took G&T test preparation classes and passed it. We are very happy with the results. It was a hard work, but it’s worth it. I would totally come back to this school for other classes as well.

I will start by saying that my two kids (current ages 14 and 9) went to this center since they both were about 4 or 5 years old. So, yes, I know this center and its owner, Franco, for at least 10 years. This is the best tutoring service we ever had! If you are still hesitating as to whether or not you want to try sending your kids here, ask yourselves: where would you rather have them spend their time during the weekday evening or weekend--in front of the TV or learning new skills? Sure, sports are important nowadays, but brain gymnastics will take your kids even further. Do you want your kids to feel confident at school because they have already covered the class material or they know that there is somebody, besides their tired and overwhelmed parents, who has patience and a great experience to make sure that the material that was not quite clear during the class with 30 something classmates is now crystal clear? And no, they are not bored because they know the material being covered in overcrowded class because they already studied it with their tutors. Repetition is the mother of studying. They get to repeat it, learn new ways to do it and...a chance to show off (who does not like that?). In my 10 years and counting of sending my kids to Grasmere center taught me that it was the best investment I could make--investment into my kids' future.

Franco is an excellent manager. Teacher Ms Michelle is excellent and my 4 years old is always engaged in her class.

This place is the best my kids. Have been coming here for years. They make learning fun.

My daughter graduated from Eye Level earlier this year. Besides knowledge, she obtained critical skills and good learning habits. For a number of years I've observed how under Franco's leadership this center got better and continues to demonstrate consistent results. He carefully handpicks his staff and continues to work closely with them to achieve predefined goals. Looking back, I have to say that I am fully satisfied with the results. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful place! My kids have amazing results!Mrs. Michelle is my son's favorite teacher of all times:) And Mr. Franco, the manager, is always nice and professional. Also, very clean and well organized facility.

I have two sons in Fastrackids/Eye Level. My 5.5 year old started eyelevel at 3.5 and fastrackids core at 4.5 years old. He is currently enrolled in fastrackids science and loves it. In eyelevel Math and English he is doing very well learning above grade level. He scored 96 percentile on G&T test, a huge improvement from the 66 he got a few months before I enrolled him in fastrackids core and G&T Prep! The combination of eyelevel learning, fastrackids and G&T prep really made a difference. My 3 year old started fastrackids explorers/discoverers when he was 2 and is having a great time learning and playing. He attends twice a week in the morning. I will enroll him in eye level learning classes very soon to go along with the fastrack classes. Their unique approach to teaching and learning makes Fastrackids/eye Level Learning the best enrichment experience for my boys. Miss Michelle, Miss Maria and Miss Nancy are amazing teachers 🙂 Thanks so much and keep up the great work!!

Both of my sons 6.5 and 4.5 years old started Fastrackids @ the Hylan Blvd. location from since they were about 3. Older one already finished this two-year program and younger one still have about six months to go. We love it!I am really happy with this program. It introduces kids to a wide range of subjects in a fun way that creates a strong foundation - base of knowledge and inquisitiveness that helps them to be curious and creative, to be thinkers. The class lasts two hours and my boys had no problem being there for that amount of time - on the contrary, they both love it, well, most of the time. By the way, they are not the quite types - it not easy for them to sit still, but they manage there. Though, the children do not sit on one spot all the time during the class – the activities are always changed.Their teacher Mrs. Michelle is excellent. She is so wonderful with kids! Every time I go there I want to praise her for being so patient and attentive with children. Franco, the owner and manager, is knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He created a welcoming atmosphere for kids and parents. The facility is nice and colorful.Both of my boys took a Gifted and Talented test (older son for a second time) this year and they both got 99% - the highest score. Before that, they both took another class - G and T preparation offered at this location. My older one took this prep class, though, two years back when he was tested for the first time. After Fastrackids, he took Eye-level classes (former Enopi) there, which include math, English and critical thinking for about a year. So, this time, on the test he got his second 99%. In my opinion, having Fastrackids education earlier was really important in achieving this result. And a combo of all these classes was a winning one. Plus, of course, both boys are also bright.Some parents say that this program is expensive and do not seem to give results. To this, I would say - yes, it is not cheap, but totally worth it. Because this age - up to 6 years old is so crucial for kids when they can absorb and learn the most. It is important to expose them early on to many things in life. Though, I did questioned the effectiveness of Fastrackids earlier myself when it seemed that my kids couldn't remember much from the class. But doubts disappeared when later on the boys started using the facts and info from the classes during the conversations down the line. This knowledge stays with them, may be not always the details and the proper names, but their horizon is definitely expanded due to that.I highly recommend Fastrackids program. Thank you, Franco and Mrs. Michelle!
