My son has been going to Pioneer since he was 4 years old and through the years they have become part of our family. The teachers and staff treat you and your child with the care and respect that is out of this world. We tried moving to Florida for the benefit of our son and the schools there were rubbish. We came back and had no problem getting him back into Pioneer. They helped us with process and were so happy to see my son return. You never have to worry, they are there for you with concerns, and if there is something they don't know they find out. The Physical and Occupational Therapy is wonderful, they also have speech therapy, art classes, music, special gym classes, and just an all around awesome school for kids with multi-disabilities.
