ChildrenFirst PPEC Medical Day Care
This is not just care for the day … it’s care that lasts throughout
your child’s growth and development!
ChildrenFirst PPEC (Prescribed Pediatric
Extended Care) is here for you every
step of the way. Our exceptional nursing,
therapy and education programs are unique
to ChildrenFirst. Along with nursing and PT,
OT and ST, we provide a daily experience in
early childhood education, centered around
the developmental needs of your child.
ChildrenFirst PPEC Helps Prepare Your
Child For School!
Our certified preschool teachers follow an
early childhood curriculum designed to meet
your child’s individual needs and is similar to
a VPK program. Our early education
program prepares your child for their next
school setting when your child is ready for
graduation from PPEC!
ChildrenFirst PPEC is the only accredited
PPEC in Central Florida for the education
of young children. We are committed
to promote high-quality, early childhood
programs for all of our children and their
families. We are accredited by the National
Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC). The NAEYC is a challenging
accreditation program which helps
parents identify high-quality preschool settings
in their community. NAEYC accreditation
is an outstanding rating of approval for
our educational program.
We invest in your child’s future by
employing certified preschool teachers, who
are led by a program director with a Master’s
degree in Special Education. Let our team
help your child achieve their fullest potential!
Inclusive by Design!
Our centers are clean and cheerful with an
open design. Your child is never segregated
into closed rooms. Our nurses, therapists,
aides and certified preschool teachers are
assigned throughout the center to provide
medical care, therapy and education to our
age appropriate developmental groupings.
The open concept design of our centers
inspires an inclusive, nurturing, interactive
and collaborative healthcare and educational
environment in which our children thrive!
