About the programme

Questions

Common questions

Is Tiny Steps free?
Yes — it's a charity programme app for families.
Is this medical advice?
No. Tiny Steps offers educational activity ideas only. Talk to your GP or Plunket if you have health concerns.
What age is it for?
Activities span pregnancy through early childhood, with whānau-wide ideas too.
How is this different from other parenting apps?
We answer “What can we do together today?” — not milestone checklists, scores, or lesson plans. Resilience grows quietly through everyday action.
Can I share an activity with a grandparent?
Yes. Each activity has a share card caregivers can open without an account.
Do I need to create profiles for my children?
No. You can use Tiny Steps for the whole whānau, or add a child for age-matched ideas.
