Don't take it from us, here is what the parents are saying:

My son has been attending the infant room for approximately 7 months. Before attending Li'l Pioneers, my son attended several in-home daycares. We had a variety of problems with in-home daycares, including a lack of attention towards the children. At first I was skeptical of taking my son to a daycare center, but now it has been one of the best decisions that I have made for him.

Since starting at Li'l Pioneers, he has become more outgoing and does very well with interacting with other children. When I drop him off in the mornings, he is always very happy to see his teachers. There have been several evenings where I have had to fight with him to get him to leave!

I would recommend this Daycare to anyone! Jen is an excellent director, and all of the children get the attention and care that they both need and deserve.

I have been using Li'l Pioneers Daycare and Preschool for about 7 years for both of my children. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for an excellent daycare/preschool provider for their children.

I have had my daughter with them since she was 6 weeks old and my son since he was 2 years old, so they have grown up with a lot of the same children in the daycare. They were well prepared when it came time to start school and they were up to speed with what is required for the children to know when entering Kindergarten.

The staff has also been helping my children with reading skills over the summer, now that they are out of school, so they don't lose or forget what they have learned during the school year.

Li'l Pioneer Preschool and Daycare has been my family's daycare provider since 2002. I have two daughters, ages 3 and 5. Both have been here since they were infants. This is the only daycare facility my children have attended. I have never felt the need to check into other daycare facilities as the needs of my children have always been met at Li'l Pioneers.

As my oldest daughter is getting ready to start Kindergarten this fall, I think back on all the years she has spent here and they are all good memories. My daughter excelled at her Kindergarten screening, no doubt thanks to her preschool teachers. The staff has always been attentive and caring to my children. I have never had any worries concerning the care they receive at Li'l Pioneers and if I had, the web cameras could be utilized to watch the facility while I was at work. Over the years my children have brought home countless art projects - all worth keeping, of course!

Aside from what I have mentioned above, I think the fact that my children are eager to go to "school" every morning is what has kept us there all these years. They are happy when I drop them off and they are happy when I pick them up, and that alone, is enough for me. I would recommend Li'l Pioneers to anyone seeking daycare for their child(ren).

I just wanted to let you know that I think the daycare staff is doing a great job.  They have all been very friendly and patient with my son in his transition into daycare as well as my transition into being away from him and he seems very happy.  It also makes me very proud when grandparents and friends notice how SMART and polite he is getting.   It makes coming back to work much easier to know he is happy and well taken care of.  He likes all of his teachers and talks about them on the weekends.  Again, thank you for a great job.
