Tiny Sparks WA has partnered with paediatric therapists from Wize Therapy in Booragoon and early learning specialists from the Meerilinga Early Learning Centre in Coolbellup to develop the specialist play group.

Tiny Sparks WA chairwoman Michelle Giles said the classes provided the perfect place for young children to be monitored, while also allowing parents in similar situations to meet.

“As a parent of a prematurely born child I know when you’re waiting for your child to crawl and take their first steps that you’re holding your breath,” she said.

“That’s because the development of children who have had a tough start can be jeopardised.”
