SendiksSendik’s Supports Penfield this Summer

Our friends at Sendik’s Food Markets - Balistreri owned and operated are supporting Penfield through the Real Food Campaign. Sendik’s will be collecting donations for Penfield through the sale of lollipops, American flags and other items at stores throughout the metro Milwaukee area from May through July. Penfield is also featured in the upcoming summer issue of Real Food Magazine, a Sendik’s publication. Proceeds from the Real Food Magazine sales will also benefit Penfield. Sendik’s has been a generous and dear friend to Penfield and continues to make a significant impact on our kids and the programming we provide.

Who We Are

Penfield Children’s Center is named in honor of Dr. Wilder Penfield (1891-1976), a world-renowned neurosurgeon who strongly advocated early intervention for children with developmental delays and disabilities.  His knowledge and wisdom underlie Penfield Children’s Center’s philosophy of care for infants and young children even today.

What We Do

At Penfield Children’s Center, families are involved in their children’s learning.  Each child’s family works with the Penfield staff to help their child achieve his or her full potential. Penfield Children’s Center, with the generous assistance of its donors, makes sure that each child has everything he or she needs to succeed:

  • Early intervention services for children, birth to three years of age, with developmental delays or disabilities
  • Special Care Nursery for medically fragile and at-risk infants and toddlers
  • Behavior Clinic for children under the age of 5 who have significant behavior and emotional problems
  • Outpatient therapy programming for children up to age 18
  • Education and support services for parents and caregivers
  • Fully accredited and integrated childcare program for all children through age 6
  • Centrally located in Milwaukee and serving all of Milwaukee County

Our Mission Statement

Penfield Children’s Center is a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to help infants and young children with and without disabilities to reach their full potential through education, therapy services and family programs.
