Alison Keddie
Project Officer, Program Impact & QualityAlison’s background in early childhood education brought her to Tasmania to work with children and families and eventually led to her joining the Playgroup Tasmania team in 2019. Since then, she has worked alongside staff, volunteers and playgroup leaders to continuously improve the work we do with playgroups statewide.
Alison loves supporting families with young children to live in communities where they feel welcomed, supported and able to thrive.
As part of this, she is focused on ensuring playgroup policies and programs hold children at the centre and are safe for everyone. Alison also oversees the Playgroup Tasmania Online Resource Hub where playgroup leaders and volunteers can access a free library full of useful checklists, templates and policies to help run their playgroups.
"Having access to a variety of toys has let me see my bub is ready for different stages, like when he holds and grabs toys that we don’t have at home."
