Claire MacDonald

Playgroup Development Practitioner, North West

Claire 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!

"My children are learning not to throw sand on people, how to share toys, how to be mindful of others when using toys and how to make friends."
