Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'pediatric' (pertaining to children's medical treatment) combined with 'care' (medical treatment) yields 'medical care for children.' This compositional pattern is direct and cross-linguistically common, so a learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Pediatric care uses pediatric, meaning 'children', and care, meaning 'medical help'. Imagine a doctor's room with small tools and toys made just for kids; that image shows why it means 'medical care for babies, children, and teenagers'.
