What the parents say

What the parents say

"This is the first daycare my son has ever went to, I was ball full of emotions. Meeting the teachers I felt so much better! Sonny Ray LOVES school, he runs up to the door and always tells me about his teachers! ...He's learning so much there and comes home telling me about his day and his friends. He brings home beautiful art, it’s just a breath of fresh air knowing he is happy and loves his school. I love how they write down how much he ate in the app and when his nappy was changed! My absolute favourite is the photos of him playing at school. I highly recommend Little Zak's at Adamstown" - Samantha

"We have been delighted with Little Zaks Adamstown - our little girl absolutely loves it there. The rooms are great, they have appropriate toys and activities and the outdoor area is excellent. She has made lots of friends and we are quite often amazed by the new skills she brings home from the centre. She has been assisted tremendously through her potty training journey there as well. A big thank you to the educators and 'non-educator' staff who do such an amazing job with out little ones!" - Michael

I’m very happy with Little Zak Academy. My son goes there every Monday with a big smile, which says a lot. The centre is always clean, and the educators are kind, supportive, and truly attentive to the children. I feel so lucky to have such a high-quality childcare centre close to us. I highly recommend it to other parents. A big thank you to Mel and the wonderful team for all their care and dedication.

Highly recommend Mel and the team. They have been nothing but supportive and professional. Lauryn and Chloe do an amazing job with little one as do all the other educators. Miss R loves her days playing and learning even asking to attend weekends.

Little zaks penrith has become my children's second home and we couldn't have picked a better centre for both our girls. After having a bad experience at a previous centre i found little zaks penrith 2 month's after opening and havent thought to look elsewhere. The staff are so great with the children. They are kind friendly and always welcomimg.The children gain trust with their favourrite educators and i cant fault them. Leaving the kids daily we must have trust in the educators and I highly recommend them. The center is always clean and smelling clean, they also love doing yoga soccor amd language aswell as cooking . My 4 yr old even knows how to do the rainbow in auslan sign. I dont know who'll be more upset when they start big school me or my girls they fell like family. Thankyou to mel and the team for making this experience how it should be.

We couldn’t be happier with Little Zak’s Penrith! Our daughter has been attending for the past six months, and the care and attention she receives are exceptional. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and well-being. A special shout-out to all the educators in the Voyagers room! The centre provides a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. The diverse range of activities, from creative arts to outdoor play, keeps my daughter engaged and excited about daily learning. Since joining, we've noticed a significant improvement in her social skills and confidence. Communication is excellent. They keep us informed about her daily progress and milestones through an app. We highly recommend Little Zak’s to any parent seeking quality childcare!
