About HAPPIE Kids:
Our center is being established to address a critical and underserved need in Hazard and the broader Eastern Kentucky region: access to high-quality, medically supported childcare for children with complex health needs. Eastern Kentucky has historically faced significant health disparities, limited access to specialized pediatric services, and a shortage of providers equipped to serve medically fragile children in community settings.
The blended PPEC and daycare model was designed to solve multiple challenges simultaneously. By combining Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care traditional childcare, our facility is uniquely positioned to serve both medically complex children who require nursing oversight, therapeutic services, and specialized medical equipment management, and typically developing children who benefit from high-quality early childhood education in an inclusive setting.
A blended PPEC and daycare model will address the critical needs for medically sound, high-quality childcare access affording parents and caregivers the opportunity to reenter or remain in the workforce, pursue higher education and/or respite opportunities; improving social, emotional, health and economic outcomes for children and their families.
Their Mission:
Our mission is to reduce rural access barriers to childcare and pediatric therapies while strengthening families through coordinated care and wrap-around supports.
Appalachian Kentucky Counties Served:
Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, Letcher, Perry
