Meet our Friendly Staff

Nat Burgett

Centre Director of SAGE Early Learning Centre Belfield

Hi, I’m Natalie – or you can call me Miss Nat! With over 10 years of experience and a Bachelor of Education focused on the early years.

  I believe the best early education happens when we nurture and support our educators, build strong connections with families and the community, and—most importantly—form genuine, caring relationships with the children. Through these connections, we can create play-based, interest-led experiences that spark curiosity and help lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

  I’d love to welcome you into our SAGE Early Learning Centre family. We’re so excited to walk alongside you during this special chapter in your child’s journey.

Tali Kyrillos

Centre Director of SAGE Early Learning Centre Carlton

Hi, I’m Talita, though many know me as Miss Tali. I’m a proud mum of two and a true family person at heart.

Over the past 12 years, I’ve grown from a trainee to completing my bachelor’s degree, and now have the privilege of serving as Director and Nominated Supervisor at SAGE ELC Carlton.

I’m passionate about creating fun, hands-on environments where children can learn, play, and grow, while guiding a dedicated team of educators.

Above all, I strive to ensure every child feels safe, valued, and cared for—a warm “home away from home.”
