Playgroup Tasmania acknowledges that we live, work and play on Aboriginal land, land of the palawa/pakana people of lutruwita (Tasmania). We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, to elders past and present and to all those who continue caring for country, sharing stories and upholding rights.

“While Grandparents add to children’s lives, children add to their grandparents lives too. Many older people say that keeping up with their grandchildren keeps them young.”
- Playgroup Parent

In partnership with Playgroup Australia and the ABC, we are delighted to take part in season 2 of the hit documentary series Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds.

The show aims to raise awareness of the benefits of play for all ages.

The delightfully inspiring season two, follows a group of older adults living alone who join a group of lively 4-year-olds in an intergenerational play school where they find learning, connection and friendship.
