Strong Starts for Tiny Sparks

New program alert!

We are thrilled to be bringing a new offering to the table in 2025. Strong Starts for Tiny Sparks will be a series of monthly webinars on topics of interest to the community.

Bringing your baby home from the NICU is a huge milestone—one that comes with excitement, but also new challenges. You want to support their development, but between feeds, naps, and everyday life, who has time to “add in” play?

✨ Here’s the secret: Play doesn’t have to be something extra. It can be part of what you’re already doing! ✨

In this free webinar with Tiny Sparks & paediatric physiotherapist Nicole Pates (@nicole_kidsphysio), we’ll show you how to:

✔️ Make daily routines (like bath time & mealtime) playful for babies and toddlers under 3 🛁🍽️
✔️ Use simple tricks to boost connection & communication 🗣️💛
✔️ Turn “must-dos” into FUN moments 🎶✨

📅 Date & Time

📍 Online | FREE | 27th February at 2pm

👶 Perfect for parents of NICU graduates aged 0-3 years!

Spaces are limited—RSVP now!

Nurturing Regional NICU Families

We are thrilled to spill the beans on a secret project that’s been almost 9 months in the making!

With the hugest of thanks to Telethon 7 and Nicole Pates of Western Kids Health we bring you Nurturing Regional NICU Families.

Aiming to close the gap for graduate NICU families living in rural, regional and remote areas of WA by providing free access to virtual therapist support and a unique, strength based, online program to build connection, improve bonding and work towards developmental milestones.

Eligible families will receive a 12 month Baby Play Academy membership, an online program created by paediatric physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychologists to support your baby's development from birth to walking.

If you are living rural, regional or remote and have been discharged home in last few months (since 1/1/23) you are eligible to apply. The program is best commenced within a few weeks of returning home and the cut off point for participation will be adjusted each month.

Health professionals and others interested in this program can download and print this flyer for distribution, or contact us if you would like copies sent to you.
