What is PPEC?
When caring for a child with medical complexities, finding the right balance between medical care, education, and socialization can be overwhelming. That’s where Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) comes in.
PPEC centers, like Small Miracles of Naples, provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children with complex medical conditions receive skilled nursing care, therapy, education, and social interaction all under one roof.
Who Benefits from PPEC?
Children with conditions such as:
•Premature birth complications
•Neurological disorders (e.g., cerebral palsy, seizures)
•Respiratory conditions (tracheostomy, ventilator support)
•Congenital heart defects
•Feeding challenges (G-tube, NG tube)
•Developmental delays
At Small Miracles of Naples, we cater to each child’s unique needs, ensuring they receive the medical attention and developmental support necessary to grow, learn, and thrive.
Why Choose PPEC Over Traditional Care?
Unlike traditional daycare centers, PPEC centers are medically focused and staffed with licensed nurses, therapists, and specialists trained to provide care for children with special health needs. Parents can have peace of mind knowing their child is receiving expert medical supervision in an environment designed to foster both physical and emotional development.
How to Get Started with PPEC?
Enrollment in a PPEC center typically requires a physician’s referral and Medicaid approval. If you’re interested in learning more about how Small Miracles of Naples can support your child, give us a call at 813-384-1778.
