✦ Director
Sarah Reynolds
B.Ed Early Childhood · 15+ years experience

Sarah leads North Nowra Preschool with a deep belief that every child’s voice deserves to be heard and celebrated. With over 15 years in early childhood education, she has shaped our centre into a place where children feel safe to take risks, ask big questions, and truly belong.

Outside of the preschool, Sarah is a passionate advocate for nature-based learning and regularly presents at early childhood conferences across NSW. She’s also usually the first one to get her hands dirty in the mud kitchen.
