Playgroup Tasmania acknowledges that we live, work and play on Aboriginal land, land of the palawa 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.

Andrea Romero

Playgroup Development Practitioner, South

Andrea has worked with community organisations for more than 6 years, focusing on families, children and volunteers. She has experience designing and delivering programs that promote social connection, wellbeing and participation through the creation of welcoming spaces where families feel supported and included.

Andrea values environments where both children and parents can feel free from judgement and where parents feel supported to be the parent their child needs.

As a mother of two young children herself, she has personal experience of the positive impact nonjudgemental environments have on families and is motivated to create these spaces for all playgroup families.

"There aren't many activities for young families in the local area and we have a great group of regulars who are now all friends and we look forward to catching up each week."
