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.
Claire MacDonald
Playgroup Development Practitioner, North WestClaire has worked in community services for more than 30 years during which she has supported children and adults with disability and provided learning assistance. She is passionate about working with leaders and volunteers so they understand the importance of their contributions to achieving a common purpose.
Claire enjoys creating spaces where caregivers can connect with each other, share their experiences raising children and build supportive networks.
Through her work, Claire helps parents and caregivers to build confidence and forge relationships with their children that can only happen in the unique playgroup environment.
And of course, Claire also just loves to play!
"I think having an organised parent group for those with a new baby is really important especially for those parents who don’t have established social groups or a social group with children of the same age."
