Tender Care Attended Help Me Grow's Inaugural Books, Balls, and Blocks event in St. Johns County 2024!

Providing a Helping Hand for Special Needs Children and Families.

We were thrilled to be invited to attend Help Me Grow’s inaugural Books, Balls, and Blocks event in St. Johns County on November 8th. The event successfully connected nine families with valuable resources, helped complete three developmental questionnaires, and provided essential support to each family. We’re excited for the upcoming event in Palm Coast on December 13th!

The host of the fair, Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia, connect families to child care, fund program improvements, and support educators, all to prepare children for success in school and life, because early learning lays the foundation for a bright future and strong community.

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.
