COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers, for our families.
We know choosing care for a medically fragile child involves a thousand questions. Start here, or reach out and we'll answer anything that isn't covered.
-
Yes. We are licensed as a Pediatric Day Health Care center, staffed with pediatric-experienced RNs and LVNs on the floor every hour of operation, and everything we do runs on physician orders.
-
G-tube and NG feedings, tracheostomy care, ventilator support, oxygen, seizure protocols, insulin management, medication administration, wound care, and complex behavioral support plans. If you're unsure whether we can support your child, just give us a call us.
-
Arrival and nursing check-in, breakfast or feeds, circle time, structured play and learning, therapy blocks, lunch and rest, sensory or outdoor time, afternoon snack, and a written handoff at pickup. Every medical task is folded into that flow, not scheduled around it.
-
Most families are enrolled within two to three weeks. Timing depends on how quickly physician orders come back and how much back-and-forth insurance requires. We manage that paperwork with you, not in place of you.
OUR MISSION
Helping children with medical needs realize their full potential in an inclusive, nurturing environment.
We believe medical care should never be the barrier to a joyful childhood. Together, we collaborate closely with families, physicians, and school districts to create cohesive care plans that support every aspect of a child’s growth: medical, educational, social, and emotional. At Caring Corner, every child is known, supported, and cared for by a team that treats them like family.

Our spacious 10,000 sq. ft. facility in Bakersfield, CA is thoughtfully designed to support comfort, care, and connection for children with medical and developmental needs. Every space, from our colorful classrooms to our adaptive playground, reflects our belief that nursing care and the joys of childhood can coexist. Here, children can explore, learn, laugh, and rest, all within a setting that’s warm, inclusive, and secure. No matter your child’s needs, our focus remains the same: to provide a creative, stimulating, and caring environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.
