From the years 1961 to 2011, Rabbi Moshe Neuman was at the helm of this Queens institution, shepherding it from a school of 27 students in a tiny building in Corona to a school of close to 850 students in a four-story building in Kew Gardens. Throughout those years, Rabbi Neuman was a consistent and reliable presence for all the girls who learned at Bais Yaakov.

The PIMU is also now the only location in Queens with specialized video electroencephalography technology to observe and track seizures in children with epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
