Physical Therapist

Job Opportunity at Little Angels PPEC

Little Angels PPEC provides compassionate, skilled care and essential resources for children with special medical needs and their families. With three convenient locations across Central Florida, we offer a full spectrum of services including medical day care, skilled nursing, and comprehensive therapy programs—covering physical, occupational, and speech therapy—for premature infants and children with complex medical conditions.

As an AHCA-licensed facility, Little Angels PPEC delivers a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for children who require daily nursing care, cannot have their needs fully met in a school setting, or face ongoing non emergency medical conditions that result in frequent hospital visits.

Our approach is centered on patient-focused care, ensuring that every child receives personalized attention from a team of highly trained specialists. By making the process of accessing non-emergency medical care simpler and more seamless, we ease the burden for families while promoting each child's growth, health, and well-being.

For many families, center-based care offers the best solution—allowing children to thrive alongside peers with similar medical needs. This shared experience reduces isolation, fosters social connection, and helps children feel supported in an environment where they belong.
