Nurses who know your child
Trach and vent care, G-tube feeds, oxygen, monitors, seizure protocols and medications, handled all day by licensed nurses who see your child every day.
Nobody has to translate
Our team speaks English, Spanish and Creole. Nobody has to translate their child's medical history or bring a relative along to interpret.
Close to the hospitals you already know
We sit where Hollywood meets Davie and Pembroke Pines, near Memorial Regional and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, and we know the weeks right after discharge. We are independent of both hospitals, just close by.
Everything your child needs, under one roof
Nursing, therapy, meals, learning and play, in one building, on one schedule.
Pediatric Nursing Care
Nurses handle trach care and vent support, G-tube feeds and seizure protocols, all day.
Physical Therapy
Strength, balance and the long work of learning to move, in our own therapy gym.
Occupational Therapy
Hands, feeding skills and the small independences that change a whole day.
Speech Therapy
Talking and swallowing, and being understood, including by the people who love them.
Respiratory Therapy
Breathing treatments, airway care and oxygen managed on site.
Applied Behavior Analysis
ABA in the same building as the nursing and the therapy, so it is not a second commute.
Nutritional Food Program
Meals and snacks planned around your child's needs, by mouth or by tube.
Learning and Play
Art and music, learning and friends, the parts of childhood that belong to every child.

How enrollment actually works
There are two pieces of paper between your child and a spot here: a prescription and an approval. Here is the honest version.
- 1
Call us or book a tour
Walk the rooms. Meet the nurses. Ask the questions you've been carrying around for months. Bring your child.
- 2
Your child's doctor writes the prescription
PPEC is prescribed care, so it starts with a physician's prescription. We'll talk to the office directly.
- 3
Florida Medicaid approves the care
The approval is renewed every 180 days. This is the part that scares people, and we help with the paperwork each time.
- 4
Your child starts
The nurses and therapists are waiting. First day, and every day after.
We do the paperwork with you.

Peek A Boo was started by a father and his daughter. He practiced Internal Medicine in Cuba before the family immigrated in 1999, so he knows what it is to start over, and to be the person a worried family is counting on. His daughter, Natali Tejeda, owns the center. Rosa Martinez is our Director of Nursing.
