Alana Barker

💛 Meet Alana Barker Hi, I’m Alana – wife, mum to three amazing adult children, and someone who has been running playgroups since I was just 18. For as long as I can remember, my heart has lit up whenever I’m around babies, toddlers, and – most importantly – their mums and dads. Over the years, life has taught me so much about children, families, and the ups and downs that come with raising little ones. One thing I know for certain is this: we’re not meant to do it alone. Every parent needs a village. Someone to walk alongside you on the hard days, gently reminding you, “This season will pass. You’re doing better than you think.” And on the good days, someone to laugh with you, celebrate milestones, and remind you how incredible you are. That’s why I love Toddler Sense so much. Yes, the programs themselves are brilliant – but it’s the community and connection they create that I treasure most. It’s a safe space where we can encourage each other, share the joy of watching our little ones grow, and sometimes even shed a few tears together. Time with our little ones goes by so quickly, and I never want a mum to miss out on the fun, curiosity, and magic of these precious years. I often think, “If only I had something like this when my babies were little…” That’s why I’m here now – to make life a little easier, lighter, and more joyful for mums like you.
