Sarah Cassell
I've been working in the early childhood sector since 2019, with more than four and a half years in leadership and management roles. My decision to join the industry was inspired by my own experience as a parent — seeing the positive impact of an exceptional early learning environment on my own children made me want to help create that same experience for other families.
I began my journey with Jenny's ELC in July 2025, supporting the Director at Ballarat Central before being appointed Centre Director at Delacombe. I'm deeply passionate about creating a positive, happy, and connected community — working alongside educators and families to ensure every child receives the highest standard of care in a warm, nurturing environment.

The same familiar faces, year after year.
The single biggest thing that shapes your child’s day is the person beside them. Our educators are qualified early childhood professionals who stay — many have been with us for five, eight, even twelve years. That means your child is known by the same people as they grow.
