Playgroups & Coffee Groups

 

One of our most regular and popular support events is hosting playgroups for young prems of different ages and at different stages of development.

These FREE playgroups give whānau the opportunity to meet with a professional Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist who has experience working with NICU and SCBU babies.  Additionally you’re able to get to know other NICU/SCBU whānau and build lasting connections once you’ve left the unit. There’s no need to worry about being on time or staying for the whole time, feel free to come and go as works for you and your baby.
For any last minute changes to our playgroups please check our Facebook page or contact us on info@littlemiraclestrust.org.nz
