We are a center committed to brightening the futures of the medically fragile children we serve. We believe each child can achieve amazing progress, given the chance. At BrightStart we have combined proactive clinical management with targeted developmental programs to offer them the best chance. BrightStart PPEC centers are clean, friendly environments unlike any other in the area.

Whether your little one is in need of our skilled nursing day program (PPEC) or developmental therapies (OT, PT, ST) we make every day count. Our caregivers are experienced in the care of infants and children. They use their expertise to find the opportunities within each child. We stay focused on the “next step” for each child, every step of the way.
