Playgroup Tasmania is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children. We have zero tolerance for abuse and promote a shared responsibility to protect children from harm. We uphold children's rights and comply with relevant child safety laws and standards.
Community playgroups
Community playgroups are started and managed by the families who attend them. Families are welcome at community playgroups from birth until their child goes to school.
There are lots of proven benefits* to community playgroups:
- They fill gaps in communities by providing social and peer support
- They connect parents and caregivers with each other
- They foster a sense of place, especially for families new to the community, and
- They develop the skills, knowledge and networks of those involved.

"My son is now a social butterfly and loves the company of others. I attribute that to attending playgroup each week from a young age until my return to work at 12 months."
