About Little Zak's Academy Kurri Kurri

At Little Zak's Academy Kurri Kurri we strive on being the best in the area, providing our children with the tools to create the best start in life. 

We do this by conducting incursions, which include the local fire brigade, police department, doctors, dentists, vets and Kindi-farms. We also implement an intense school readiness program for our preschool aged children.


But most importantly, we only employ the best educators who are dedicated to providing a stimulating and exciting program for our children, supported by their caring and nurturing nature and great team like attitude. A chef is present on premises, to provide 5 meals daily.

Our child care Kurri Kurri centre caters for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.

What the parents say

What the parents say

"Little Zak's is an amazing daycare, my daughter has been going since the doors have been open and everyone there is loving and welcoming. The building is brand new, has so much for all ages and I can't fault the place. I feel safe that my daughter attends here 5 days a week and know she is cared for!" - Kera

"My daughter has started at Little Zak's after moving from another daycare. The transition has been seemless and the new centre is so spacious and allows the kids imaginations to just soar. Such a shame that my little one will only be attending for the remainder of the year. Educators and centre director are fabulous." - Lynn

Tamara is one of the best in the industry. She has cared for 2 of my children and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. I’d give her 10 out of 5 if I could ❤️

Response from the owner 16 Mar 2026

Thank you for your lovely review Katrina! Tamara will be thrilled to hear your feedback!

Tamara cared for our son when he was just 2 and 3 years old, and we still think of her with so much gratitude all these years later. She created a nurturing, calm, and genuinely supportive environment where he felt safe and understood — something that meant the world to us as young parents. What makes Tamara exceptional is her combination of professionalism, warmth, and intuition. She sees each child as an individual and supports them with patience, respect, and genuine care. Even now, long after our son has grown, she still remembers him and always greets us with the same kindness and connection she showed from the very beginning. That says everything about the kind of person and leader she is. We couldn’t recommend Tamara more highly. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her guiding their child’s early years.

Response from the owner 16 Mar 2026

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review Amy. We’re incredibly proud to have Tamara leading our team at Little Zak’s. Your words truly capture the care and genuine connection she brings to every child and family she works with. It’s wonderful to hear how much of a lasting impact she had on your family and that her warmth and dedication continue to be remembered and appreciated. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and kind words. 💛
