 A Hopping Good Time with Critters on Call! 🐰

We had an absolute blast with Critters on Call and their adorable bunnies! 🐇 The energy was high, the cuddles were plenty, and the smiles were contagious.

Critters on Call isn’t just about cute animals (though they have plenty!). Their mission is to provide unique experiences and learning opportunities while spreading joy throughout the community. And let us tell you, they delivered!

From fluffy snuggles to fun facts about the animals, every moment brought joy and connection. The kids fell in love with every bunny they had in their arms.

Critters on Call offers:

  • 🐐 Mobile Petting Zoos – They bring the farm right to you.

  • 🚜 Farm Tours – Great for schools, families, and curious minds of all ages.

  • 🐓 Special Events & More – Birthday parties, festivals, educational programs, and everything in between.

It was a wonderful reminder of how animals can bring people together and create moments of pure happiness. Thank you, Critters on Call, for hopping by and sharing the love!

If you’re looking to add a little fluff and fun to your next event or outing, definitely check them out!

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.

Lake Park Location

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.

You can follow us on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
