Carousel of Languages

Too bad she does not pay her employees

Your child will certainly be exposed to learning a foreign language at Carousel because of the dedicated teachers who really care about their jobs and the kids. I cannot say that about the owner of Carousel of Languages ~ Patrizia.
Patrizia takes advantage of her dedicated staff and does not pay them for their teaching in a timely manner or at all. My babysitter of over 2 years was so excited to have the opportunity to work here but that quickly changed when waiting for a paycheck became standard operating procedure, partial payment at best. Teachers here are waiting & waiting to be paid for the hours they have worked teaching our children a foreign language.
It’s a great gift to expose your child to a foreign language, it’s not ethical to not pay your staff for the work they do for your business.

I am extremely disappointed in this place and especially in «Patrizia’ herself. I enrolled my child in the class on upper west side location. A week before classes were supposed to start she shuts down the location (we found out later that she is way behind on rent) informs us there will be a refund issued to us by February 15. February 15 comes –no refund. I called them –she assured me that she will be refunding us in a week-​no refund. Its end of April now and still no refund. So this lady apparently is a scam: she stole our money. Now she is saying she wont issue us a refund since i «signed» a contract (classes are not cheap, its about $ 650 per class). I paid for services which were never provided to my child. Good thing i paid with Amex card, so they will be disputing the charge. She is basically a thief and will not refund you even if they decide to close the location on Upper East Side as well. Stay away from that place.
P. S. She doesn’t pay her teachers as well. Shame on you, Patrizia

As a person with multiple language background and teaching experience, I can assure you that this is the best place for a foreign language education and exposure for babies, toddlers&kids! The school has a stylish cosy design and friendly environment which only adds to it’s uniqueness. Go for it!
