Loretta’s Little Miracles is a daycare center in Fresno for medically fragile and/or developmentally disabled children.  Owned and operated by Loretta Hicks, her 29 years of experience in special education and pediatric hospital nursing has prepared her for the challenge and rewards of caring for these little miracles! 

In an effort to offer support where before there was none, Loretta’s Little Miracles is a unique opportunity for children and families to find a safe haven with no additional cost to the families since the care is paid for primarily by Medi-Cal.  Referrals are made to us by Case Workers, Discharge Planners, Children’s Hospital Central California and Pediatricians.  The need for the service that we provide is crucial and the opportunity we provide is unique. 

OUR MISSION:

To help children and families by providing daycare and respite services to children aged 0-21 years.

WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO:

We are not a daycare for sick children, although we care for children who are medically fragile or developmentally disabled.  These kids have G-tubes, trachs, seizure disorders, medication administration, spina bifida, hydrocephalus and other medical conditions that require the services of a nurse.  In addition, we address the children’s physical and emotional needs since there are often developmental disabilities associated with their medical condition.  We work with each child’s Pediatrician who provides written orders for the daycare nursing staff to follow.  While in our care, children are exposed to learning materials, age/ability appropriate activities and interaction with other special needs children.  Most importantly, when children attend our daycare their medical needs are fully met by skilled pediatric professionals.

With custom designed state of the art facilities, Loretta’s Little Miracles serves as a revolutionary approach in fulfilling the daily medical needs of children that are currently not receiving services, being underserved or as an alternative to in home services.   We have completed construction on our building and are finishing up with the final details such as curriculum and staffing.  We will be opening our doors in the near future and are currently making an effort to inform and educate parents, doctors, teachers, case managers, and support groups that they have another avenue of help and support.
