Understanding PPEC daycare and its purpose
PPEC daycare stands for Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care—a specialized medical daycare designed to support children from birth through age 21 who face complex medical needs. At Advanced Care Partners, our PPEC daycare centers provide a nurturing, non-residential environment that seamlessly integrates skilled nursing, therapeutic support, and social enrichment. These centers are Medicaid-covered, free of cost to eligible families, and open up to six days a week to ensure consistency and comprehensive care.
Holistic care tailored for each child
In our PPEC daycare, every child receives a customized care plan that includes 24/7 nursing oversight and appropriately equipped medical support. Integrated therapies—physical, occupational, and speech—are woven into each child’s daily routine. Nutritional meals and snacks are formulated to match dietary requirements. Interactive, age-appropriate play and social activities are provided to foster emotional growth and peer engagement.
Socialization as a cornerstone of development
PPEC daycare extends care beyond medical needs to include emotional and social development. Our centers are vibrant communities where children with shared challenges can form friendships, practice communication, and build confidence in a safe, structured environment. Guided group interactions—like music time, story circles, and cooperative play—are integrated into therapeutic activities, enabling development alongside camaraderie.
Empowering families through respite and support
A key benefit of PPEC daycare is the peace of mind it gives caregivers. With skilled professionals handling medical and developmental care, families gain valuable time to rest, work, or focus on other children—without the burden of constant oversight. Parents also build community through shared experiences, alleviating isolation and emotional strain.
Financial & logistical accessibility
Advanced Care Partners covers all expenses for Medicaid-eligible families, making PPEC daycare an affordable solution. We also provide transportation services—with nurse or EMT escorts—to ensure your child arrives safely and reliably each day.
Signs your child may benefit from PPEC daycare
Families often consider enrolling when they notice one or more of the following:
- Dependence on medical devices or frequent interventions requiring skilled staff.
- Need for daily therapy (OT, PT, speech) to meet developmental milestones.
- Caregiving demands that overwhelm daily routines or work-life balance.
- Limited social interaction leading to isolation or developmental delays.
- A desire for a coordinated, family-inclusive care approach.
