Leadership at Sanctuary
As a core leader at Sanctuary, Lauren ensures the organisation’s values of collaboration, connection, inclusion and respect are lived every day in practice. These values are the foundation of Sanctuary’s philosophy — influencing how curriculum is co-constructed with children, how families are engaged as partners, and how teaching teams are supported to deliver meaningful learning experiences.

Child-led learning — ensuring each child’s voice and interests guide their curriculum and daily experiences, helping to build confidence and curiosity.
Community & belonging — nurturing a sense of safety, respect and belonging for every family that joins Sanctuary.
Educator empowerment — fostering learning teams where mutual respect, professional growth and wellbeing are front of mind.
