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.
Ashley Pearce
Playgroup AssistantBefore joining the Playgroup Tasmania team, Ashley worked in the childcare sector for 7 years and has experience running a parent and baby fitness class. She also brings her lived experience as a mum to 3 neurodivergent children to her work.
In her role, Ashley focuses on helping make playgroups warm and welcoming for all families and enjoys seeing them connect and develop friendships in these supportive environments.
Ashley believes playgroups are a great opportunity for parents and caregivers to spend quality time playing with their children and encouraging their early development.
"Creating new friendships with other parents gives me a reason to get out of the house with a small child."
