Auckland Developmental Playgroup
Developmental Group
The Little Miracles Trust (Auckland) Developmental Playgroup is for babies who have been through a NICU or SCBU unit. It is appropriate for babies from when they go home from the unit, until they are cruising furniture.
If your baby is well, you may come when you feel ready
At these sessions, we:
- Provide developmentally appropriate toys and play equipment in a baby friendly setting
- Act as a social support group for parents. Parents are able to meet and chat with others who are going through similar experiences to themselves. Stories, information, and helpful tips are shared over a relaxing coffee
- Provide the support of a Developmental Therapist who offers support and advice, and is happy to answer any developmental questions that parents may have relating to their baby’s development
This is a FREE service for families who have been in a NICU or SCBU unit

Thanks so much for sharing your personal story!
We get a lot of positive feedback from families in a neonatal unit who read these stories and feel strength, hope and positivity knowing that they are not alone going through these experiences and feeling certain emotions.
If you would like to discuss sharing the story of your neonatal journey, we’d love to hear from you.
