I am a parent of a student at the smaller Pioneer on Clifton Ave (Pre-K to 1st grade).
Everyone at the school from the Principal to the teachers to the aides... are all very caring and understanding!!
They truly care and go out of their way for the students as well as the parents! IT's like a small little family there. :)
You get high QUALITY care for your children and a Wonderful education at the same time! Close Quote
