Providing a Helping Hand for Special Needs Children and Families.

Perry’s Moody Moos, LLC visited our Spring Hill Tender Care center! They brought bunnies, goats, and a calf! The kids had a blast learning about the animals and petting them. 

This mobile petting zoo also does photography partnerships and baby cow rescues! They are located in Ocala, Florida. 

If you are interested in booking their mobile petting zoo or partnering with them, they can be reached at perrysmoodymoos@gmail.com. You can also see their work on their Facebook page.

Photos by Victoria took photos of the kids with the animals! She is a Marion County Florida Photographer and she travels to various locations. Victoria is passionate about capturing special moments and was influenced by the people in her life to start her photography career.

More About Tender Care

Tender Care PPEC 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.

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