Tender Care Attended TLC’s Fall Festival 2024!
Providing a Helping Hand for Special Needs Children and Families.
We had a wonderful time at TLC’s Fall Festival 2024! It was heartwarming to reconnect with one of our former Tender Care PPEC graduates—a true success story who reminds us why we do what we do. A big thank you to TLC for hosting such a fantastic event that celebrates inclusion and community!
This family-friendly event was sensory-friendly and enjoyable for all ages! It took place on November 9th at 11 a.m. at The Arc of the St. Johns Campus in St. Augustine, FL. We were thrilled to have so many families visit our table – it was a fantastic experience!
The host of the fair, Therapeutic Learning Center (TLC), is a FREE public charter school for eligible children age 2 ½ to 5 with special needs. The TLC is funded by the St. Johns County School District. The Therapeutic Learning Center for Children was founded in 1986 to provide the opportunity for hope, growth, and change to children with special needs under the age of 5. Their students have a variety of special needs from Autism, Down Syndrome, Global Developmental Delay and Cerebal Palsy to severe medical needs. Each and everyday of school, their students learn and grow so that they are better prepared for their futures!
Tender Care provides care for medically complex and fragile children from birth to 21 years of age in a daycare-like environment staffed with nurses, CNAs, and therapists. We are the first independently owned PPEC in the State of Florida with our initial center opening in 1988. This means we have an abundance of experience and knowledge in providing loving care to this special pediatric population. We have 6 Tender Care PPEC centers throughout Florida, with our newest facility located in Lake Park.
Our goal is to enhance the development of each child through collaborative relationships between families, physicians, nurses, and therapists. This holistic approach to care is carried out in an environment that allows the child to engage in social interactions with their peers. This results in thriving children, well-positioned to achieve their greatest potential. We also offer transportation at no cost and provide nutritious meals throughout the day.
What sets us apart is that we care for and treat every child like family. We have passion in our hearts for our children and a desire to see them succeed.
We are so excited to have a table at this fair and can’t wait to meet all the families that attend.
