A success story from one of our families

Mark immigrated from Haiti in the wake of the hurricane. As a single father, he was faced with the challenge of finding work while finding care for his 15-year-old son, Mark, who has complex medical needs. 

When we met the family at our Miami center, young Mark was unable to speak, sit, or feed himself. Today, he’s made amazing strides. He's starting to speak, get up and down by himself, and even feed himself simple foods, although he loves when Miss Marcella makes him his favorite: a Haitian staple, rice and beans.

We are honored to work with families like Mark’s and show them the way we care here at Spark Pediatrics.

“After a couple of months, my son tried to lay down, get up by himself, and sit by himself… he didn’t do that before.”

Q&A

Clear communication at every step

What does a child's day look like at Spark Pediatrics?

In the morning, we pick them up and bring them to our center. There, they'll typically engage in alternating sessions of learning and fun, care and therapy, meals, and naptime. Every child's schedule is personalized to their care plan and developmental needs, and they are assigned groups based on developmental age. We prioritize their medical care first, but strive to provide a balance of engaging, enriching activities that stimulate mental and social development. Therapy is also provided at the center according to their providers' recommendations. Every evening, we offer return transportation that accommodates the family's schedule.

What does Spark Pediatrics do differently?

We are a nationwide PPEC. Our network of centers have provided care for children with a wide range of medical conditions. So we’ve developed our standards of care and safety from our combined wealth of pediatric experience across all locations. We’ve learned what provides the best outcomes, but we are constantly evolving our approach with the latest research and equipment. At Spark Pediatrics, every child has a chance to learn, play, and develop bonds and friendships in a social daycare setting.

What if I don’t live near a center? Do you provide transportation?

Spark Pediatrics coordinates transportation from door to door — one of our team will escort the child at all times and ensure their safety. This service is provided for free.

Can you tell me more about therapy?

Children can receive all of their speech, occupational, and physical therapy without leaving our center. We have therapists who come to us, so families never have to miss work or school to take their child to a session. Our highly-qualified therapists will work with the child one on one and report back on their progress. For children who need it, we also offer behavioral therapy and access to mental health resources. Sessions are offered multiple times per week in accordance with the child's care plan.

Can you tell more about the curriculum?

At Spark Pediatrics, we offer the Funshine curriculum for children in our care. Our curriculum is meant to support children with complex medical needs. We introduce educational sessions within our daily medical care to ensure every child has a chance to thrive. Funshine covers five subjects including reading, science, and music. Every session is tailored to the child's developmental age and interests.

All free & covered by Medicaid

Everything we do is at no cost to you, from transportation to therapy to our best-in-class daily medical care. Schedule a time to speak with us and learn more.
