The founder about «Vasilisa» center

«I really felt the value of my profession 7 years ago when I moved to LA with my daughter, Nastya, who was 5 years old at the time.I knew firsthand from friends and acquaintances how quickly children lose their native language here and how difficult and sometimes impossible to preserve it and, so to speak, multiply Anticipating this problem, I began teaching Nastya to read and write in Russian using the old, soviet style ABC-book and cursive writing workbook, which were used for teaching Russian when I was in an elemetary school. I just used whatever I had on my hands. She was the first person I taught to read and write».

Parents about our center

Tatiana and Anatoly Valenti

Parents

«Our entire family likes Vasilisa center. All teachers put their heart to what they do.
We see that the teachers are proud of successes of their students. They tell us what was done in the class and to what we should pay attention at home. Our son started going to «Vasilisa» when he was less than 4 years old, and within a month he learned to read in Russian. Since that time he continues to improve his Russian reading and writing skills. He also goes to Math and Logic classes as well as Art and Science. Resently he has showed an interest in Spanish, so now he goes to Spanish classes too!»

Maria Pod'yacheva

Parent

«All teachers are professionals! My son has been going to this school for three years, since he was 4 years old. He reads Russian books and can write in cursive. I recommend «Vasilisa» to everyone!»

Elena Vozdvizhenskaya

Parent

«Our daughter attended "Vasilisa's" summer camp for two weeks.  She had a lot of fun! Every day she would come home and tell us about something new she learned in this school. She liked very much to play fun games in Russian classes, draw pictures in beatifully decorated art studio, bake cookies, play chess and simply be around playful, funny kids in the center».

Ekaterina Nalbandova

Parent

«My son is 10 now and for the last year he has been going to «Vasilisa».
He goes there with pleasure and interest. I don't push him. I would like to especially thank Tatiana, who taught him to read in Russian within the first month of attendence. He started from scratch, not knowing even the alphabet, and that is why the result is even more impressive. The teachers here inculcate knowledge, acquaint students with the surrounding world. There are numerous classes in the center. We attend a chess class, others take Spanish or Art. People can choose whatever they want their kids to learn. We are very glad we found this center where our children feel comfortable and happy».

Natalya Grinbaum

Parent

«I would recommend «Vasilisa» to all the families that want their kids to keep and preserve their native language. At «Vasilisa» they not only teach the kids to read and write, they also provide the environment for kids to listen Russian around them and to practice speaking it with their classmates. I am very satisfied with the results my daughter gets. She has attended «Vasilisa» for 4 years.
And now my younger son joined her in the center».
