"An amazing experience"

My son attended this PPEC for a little over a year and we had nothing less than an amazing experience. The nurses and staff show so much love towards the kids. My son loved each and every one of the staff and looked forward to seeing them every single day. The therapists were also amazing with him. I definitely felt extremely safe and comfortable leaving my son here during the day while I was at work!

"I can go to leave to work in peace"

When I found out about this place I quickly signed my daughter in. Love they way they treat her. The Director Elia is a sweetheart, very loving and understanding. As well one of the employee Luis in which she's calls him dad. We are really happy she's there. I can go to leave to work in peace knowing she's taken well care.

"An amazing facility!"

SPARK is an amazing facility! My son has been going here for about 3.5 years now and I am so blessed to have found them. Finding a daycare for a special needs child is hard. I toured a few other facilities and they were horrible looking but then I found Spark! It is clean, spacious, and eye apealling ! I don't think there has ever been a staff member i haven't loved! They care for these kids like they are their own! It's very evident these women love what they do! Very thorough with the kids and always loving them! Melissa is amazing and has always done such a good job with the kids and facility! The new DON Cat is also amazing and super sweet! We love the therapy staff as well my son has made leaps and bounds with them! Michelle, Amber , Pam and Jade are so good with the kids . They have special holiday parties for the kids, last year they even had a real santa come and give all the kids presents it brought me to tears! They go above and beyond for these babies! I 10/10 recommend this facility! Thank you ladies at spark we love you!

Frequently asked questions

What is a medical daycare (or PPEC)?

Medical daycare provides skilled nursing care and therapy for children with complex medical needs while their parents work or go to school. Unlike regular daycare, medical daycare (also called PPEC) is staffed by nurses and medical professionals who can handle feeding tubes, medications, seizures, and other medical needs.

How is Spark different from regular daycare?

Regular daycares cannot provide medical care or handle complex health needs for kids.

Spark is a medical facility staffed by nurses and healthcare professionals, not a traditional daycare. We provide services like:
• Skilled nursing care
• Medical monitoring
• Therapy services
• Emergency response capability
• Care coordination with doctors

What's more, Spark's medical daycare is completely free with Medicare/Medicaid

What medical conditions qualify for PPEC/medical daycare?

Children qualify if they need care that only a nurse can provide, such as:
• Medication management
• Feeding tube care (G-tube feeds)
• Seizure monitoring
• Oxygen or respiratory care
• Regular vital sign checks

Contact us for a full evaluation of your child's needs. We're happy to answer any questions you have!

What happens during a typical day at medical daycare?

At Spark, your child receives:
• Continuous nursing care from multiple nurses
• All prescribed medications and treatments
• Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
• Supervised activities and playtime
• Meals and feeding assistance
• Social interaction with other children

Every child has a personalized care plan. Call us today to learn more about what your child's schedule would be like!

How do I know if my child is getting good care during the day?

It's natural to worry about your child. We do eveything we can to keep you informed and aware of everything going on. You get:
• Daily updates on medications and care
• Regular progress reports
• Direct communication with nursing staff
• Access to therapy progress notes

Still have questions?

Give us a ring and one of our Care Coordinators can answer all your questsion!

"Amazing at what they do"

"I love this facility and the staff here. They are amazing at what they do and I know my son is in safe hands when we bring him in. They have saved my son twice with their quick thinking.

"They are all so sweet and caring"

"My 2 year old son recently started coming here. The whole process was easy and the nurses were very helpful. The whole staff are very loving with the kids and take good care of them ! Thanks to them i have so much help now and i’m not struggling anymore like i was before ! I no longer have to worry about him missing therapy because he gets it at daycare , they also give him all his medication which is very helpful ☺️ Coming from a mom of 2 and that was in and out of the hospital I really recommend medical daycare to every medical mom it is very helpful! It might be scary but the nurses are there for you they are all so sweet and caring ❤️ We’ve seen progress with my baby boy he loves being there and i rather him be there and see all the kids instead of being home and not really seeing any kids :("

"This PPEC is amazing"

"This PPEC is amazing. They have a great staff, a great large space, and provide great care.I love the room size and open concept. Multiple eyes on my kiddo at all times. I love the therapy can be done on site. Huge plus!!It’s CLEAN. Very clean! I love that they keep areas de-cluttered and wiped down. Never seen even a speck anywhere. The kitchen is clean, the bathroom is spotless.My son is SAFE. I never worry about him. They really have his health as their top priority. They never hesitate to ask me or alert me to any change in his status.We’ve know the same kids going here for years— always a great sign for any daycare facility. I’ve gotten to know the staff thru the years and we love them.I’m so thankful for this resource and I know it can be nerve wracking leaving a special needs or complex needs child with ANYONE. But, know this is a great place for them to flourish while you get stuff done."
