Skilled nursing, therapies, and developmental programs for medically complex children from 6 weeks to 20 years — bridging the gap between hospital and home with compassion.
One of the biggest gaps in pediatric healthcare happens after a child leaves the hospital. Families of medically complex children are often sent home to manage skilled medical care, therapies, medications, and daily routines — frequently with limited daytime nursing support. It can be overwhelming.
At Little Stars Pediatric Center, we're here to help bridge that gap. Our Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) program provides skilled nursing, developmental support, therapies, and compassionate care in a safe, nurturing environment — giving children the specialized care they need while providing families with peace of mind.
We prioritize the development of social skills, foster meaningful bonds with peers, and cultivate a supportive environment for optimal growth. Our center provides convenient and secure transport services to and from our facility, guaranteeing a seamless experience for both you and your child.
