About Frankie’s World
Frankie's World Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization in Philadelphia that opened in July 2006. We are a medical day care center dedicated to improving the lives of children with medical needs and their families. Named after a special little girl in Philadelphia who touched many lives, Frankie’s World is an exciting place, where kids can be kids! Our unique blend of nursing care, preschool education, and socialization sets us apart.
We will partner with you and your care team to provide compassionate care for your child. There is no charge to parents. Cost are covered through medical insurance and private donations.
“When my daughter Frankie was a toddler on a ventilator in 2000, she was isolated at home with a nurse, and there was no medically-safe place for her to go to make friends and learn about the world. We made Frankie’s World into the kind of place she would have loved.”
- Conny Lockwood, Board President
