INTRODUCING MANAGEMENT
Managing Director Jodie Stefanetti has been a part of the Sanctuary of Early Learning family for almost 25 years. It has long been a dream of Jodie’s to own and operate her own centre, and the opportunity came to fruition for her to open Seaford House in partnership with Christina Matthews, proprietor of the other Sanctuary of Early Learning services.
Both Jodie and Christina have years of dedication and experience providing exceptional care in the Early Childhood sector. They have invested their time and love of quality education into all of our services and have helped them grow into the renowned services that they are today.
Being a working mother, like many of our clients, Jodie has a sincere understanding of how it feels to leave your children in the care of others. This is why she feels that it is so important to ensure all children and families feel secure and can confidently know that their child is well cared for and happy throughout the day.
Jodie holds a Diploma of Early Childhood and has worked closely with children of all age groups across our services over the years.
We hope that the passion that Jodie and Christina share for Early Childhood Education is evident from the minute you step into Seaford House and we are so pleased to welcome you to our family.
