¡As an Act 22 Investor you have the opportunity to invest and donate in our children’s future!

The Sociedad Pro Hospital del Niño is non-profit organization certified under Section 1101.01 (a)(2) and IRS 501(c)(3) with 96 years of experience serving the community.  We are the only Pediatric Skill Nursing Home on the island that provides convalescence and long-term services to patients from 0 to 21 years of age with limited economic resources, referred and under the custody of the Department of Family.  We currently have the capacity to serve a population of 37 children with chronic and serious illnesses, whether physical and / or mental.

In addition to the Pediatric Skill Nursing Home (Casa de Salud), we have two other important programs to serve children and our community:  we provide outpatient therapy services and have a specialized learning center called Centro de Aprendizaje del Niño (CAN).  Therapy services are provided through contracts with the Department of Health and the Department of Education of Puerto Rico and are offered in homes, schools, and our center and, during this time of pandemic, through distance practice.  We offer a wide range of therapy modalities: physical, speech, oral motor, occupational, and psychological.

Established in 2011, the Centro de Aprendizaje del Niño (CAN) is an intensive learning and therapeutic center specialized in the development of academic, social, behavioral and communication skills for children from 2 – 5 years.  All our participants have some type of diagnosis such as: Autism spectrum level 1 or 2, sensory problems, learning problems, language disorders and/or social communication disorder.

The massive closure of schools and preschools on the island, in addition that currently very few preschools and centers offer these services in Puerto Rico, has led our center to quickly reach its maximum capacity of 32 children.  The current space limits the offering of services, the exposure of children to different environments and the possibility of including more educational and high-tech materials.

This creates the need to expand our physical plant, for this purpose, we have started the design of the architectural plans for the construction of a 14,000 square foot annex of eco-friendly construction.  It consists of two floors, which will provide a greater number of therapy rooms, more space for the Centro de Aprendizaje del Niño(CAN) and a center to offer seminars to parents and caregivers and continuing education courses for Health professionals.

• On the first floor, it will include an indoor gym, outdoor gyms and 16 classrooms for the Centro de Aprendizaje del Niño (CAN) with the capacity to serve up to 100 preschool-age children.
• The second floor will have more space for outpatient therapy, rehabilitation and psychology services and a complete area to allow us to expand our early intervention services. It will also have an educational room with capacity for 100 people, where workshops, trainings, orientations, and continuing education will be offered for parents, caregivers, teachers, and health care professionals.

Your donation will help us in our quest to complete our project to help more children with learning disabilities and their families so that they can continue to develop their full potential and integrate into the regular stream of learning.
