Ashley Pearce

Playgroup Assistant

Before 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.

"When the ladies asked me to join in for my input and knowledge with children, I felt very humbled that they had noticed my interests and valued me to help."
