National Association of Neonatal Therapists (NANT)

A yearly highlight for neonatal therapists is attending a NICU reunion. Engaging with families and witnessing the joy of togetherness—these are some of our most favorite moments. ❤️ Do you have a summer NICU reunion coming up? Here are ten ideas to consider for your next one: 1. Host a picnic in the park 🧺 2. Provide an ice cream social 🍦 3. Set up a face painting station 🎨 4. Have the fireman come and let the kids explore the fire truck 🚒 5. Create a fun photo booth 📸 6. Host a craft station to make a souvenir 🎨 7. Generate a splash with a NICU provider dunk tank 💦 8. Raise awareness by inviting your local media 📺 9. Make a photo collage with fun NICU reunion images 🖼️ 10. Invite your local sports mascot or hero to the party 🏅 What else have you done?
