2025 Nurses Week was a Success!
Nurses Week is always a special time for us, but this year’s Spirit Week truly exceeded all expectations! From themed dress-up days to heartwarming appreciation gifts, our week-long celebration was filled with energy, gratitude, and joy as we honor the incredible nurses who care so deeply for our patients.
Each day brought a new theme and a new reason to smile. From Sports Day to Hawaiian Day, our staff showed up in full spirit, proudly participating in creative outfits that made the kids smile. The hallways were full of laughter, selfies, and camaraderie.
Beyond the fun, we took time to show deep appreciation for our nurses. Treat tables, surprise breakfasts, a new Tender Care shirt, and small tokens of gratitude reminded everyone how valued they truly are.
Spirit Week also brought us closer together. Friendly competitions and shared meals helped strengthen bonds across departments. It reminded us that even in the most challenging moments, we’re part of a supportive and passionate team.
To all our nurses: thank you for your unwavering dedication, your tireless care, and the heart you bring to your work every day. This week was for you!
Here’s to our everyday heroes. Until next year!
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.
