A taxpayer-funded childcare company racked up nearly 500 violations over the last three years.
The company operates under the names Beanstalk and Brightside Academies – with the Beanstalk location seen at 2019 White Plains Road.Handler relentlessly pushed to get more low-income students enrolled so the chain would receive more vouchers for government reimbursement, a former employee told The Post.
“I’ve had a case where a parent would call me and say ‘Hey, I tried to enroll my kid in another program but you guys are still billing and my child hasn’t been there in a long time,” the former employee said. “And those were the cases that kept coming up, which probably put the spotlight on him.” Handler, 49, was arrested on Jan. 11 alongside his brother, Isadore Handler, the director of disability services at NYC Early Learning Company, and business associates Menachem Lieberman, Harold Schwaartz and Ben Werczberger, all of whom either worked or invested in the fraudulent companies, prosecutors said.Martin Handler and Werczberger began stealing federal funds intended for the daycare company in November 2019 in increments of $118,050 per month, prosecutors said.
