General Info

Since opening our doors in February 2006, Exceptional Care for Children has been delivering a new and innovative model of care to medically-fragile / chronically-ill children which allows them to experience their highest physical, intellectual and spiritual potential while improving the quality of life for them and their entire family. Exceptional Care for Children provides top-quality, pediatric care for children referred from our region's leading Pediatric Hospitals including A.I. duPontDE, Children's Hospital and Johns Hopkins, MD. Palliative Care and End-of-life Comfort Caring for children with chronic or terminal illnesses and caring for each child's physical, emotional, developmental, spiritual, and social needs. Each nature-themed patient room at ECC is hand-painted with the professional artistry that each of our patients deserves. With state-of-the-art medical, therapy, developmental, educational, and play equipment, ECC is well- equipped to handle the needs of children with unique needs in a less medically imposing environment. Rooms specifically designed for therapy, multi-sensory stimulation, education, and entertainment further enhance the experiences of ECC patients and family members. With the addition of a brand-new Outdoor Adaptive Playground, a new Classroom providing our kids with daily, high-quality on-site academic instruction and with the hope of rehabbing our indoor pool facility soon, so we can start to provide aqua therapy services and/or to just allow the kids to experience the simple pleasures of playing in a pool,
