About Panama City PPEC
A dedicated team committed to helping every child reach their fullest potential.
Helping Each Child Reach Their Fullest Potential
At Panama City PPEC, our mission is to provide compassionate, high-quality medical daycare that empowers every child to grow, learn, and thrive. We believe that with the right support, every child can make meaningful progress.
Our care is designed to support each child's transition to traditional daycare, a school environment, or home care — meeting them where they are and helping them move forward.
Panama City PPEC was established in 2020, and served the community through other PPEC centers since 2015.
