Little Zak's Academy Narellan Vale

Couldn’t recommend this centre more, it is such a warm and inviting centre. From the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out the staff are so friendly. I know when leaving my 2 year old son he is very loved and well looked after. He absolutely loves coming to school and has built such an amazing bond with all his teachers. All the staff are so approachable and go above and beyond for all the children which evident when I take my son in to class and pick him up.

Great staff and atmosphere, they really care for all the kids like they're their own. Highly recommend!

My son has been going to Lil Zak’s Narellan Vale since it opened when he was only 1, he is going to big school next year & we have loved having him go here. The educators are wonderful, they have helped him grow in so many ways. The communication is outstanding & there is always a friendly face greeting you. They have really made a positive impact on my sons life & I highly recommend sending your child. Joey & Christine are fantastic at running the centre, a special mention to Miss Taylor, Miss Alyssa, Miss Emily & Bianca who have been absolutely amazing.

We have been at the centre since 2018 and the facility is amazing. The educators exceed expectations with their knowledge, experience and adaptability. If you want a centre that goes above and beyond for your child/children then this is the place for you.

I have my 2 year old attending the Little Zaks Centre at Narellan Vale. As a stay at home mum I was quite apprehensive about leaving my baby, but from my first contact with the centre, my mind has completely been put at ease. Christine has made the process so fast and easy and I cant speak highly enough of her passion for her job. Everyone has been highly accommodating and very helpful! I would highly recommend this centre to anyone looking for that extra peace of mind when sending your child into care!

Excellent centre with awesome educators. My daughter has been at the centre for just over a month and Miss Mahin and Miss Aimee have been so fantastic with her, they are warm and caring and my daughter loves them. She is always well cared for and it shows in her reaction when she arrives at the service and I can leave her knowing she is safe. I look forward to our daily photos and updates and it always shows the children are happy and engaged.
Absolutely recommend this centre.

Soo happy with this centre. I'd visited a few places for my little one and it wasn't until I'd visited Little Zak's in Narellan Vale that I was comfortable. The staff are so welcoming and professional I knew straight away that I'd found the right one. I'm so impressed with the centre (it's beautiful) but also the attention to detail displayed day in day out to the children and their education. My little one has only been there a few months and has already progressed so much with his speech and social confidence. I honestly couldn't be happier :)

My 2 and a half year old has been going here since January 2022 and I have had a great experience with the service. The educators are all friendly and I appreciate all the hard work they put into each day with fun and educational activities for the room!

My daughter has been attending little Zaks Narellan vale for 3 years she loves going to school there. They have great programs and educators and staff all round wouldn’t send my children anywhere else!

Starting preschool for a very shy little person was a huge process for both our son, us but also your educators. Our fear's were overwhelming. Could you all pick up on his language? Could you understand him when he wont talk? Would he allow you to see his beautiful, helpful, crazy personality? Or would he stay to himself?

All our fear's were erased within a few short weeks. It has gone from Tear's and bribery to go to school, to saying goodbye to me as soon as the school comes into view.

This is all because our son feels safe, secure, more confident, listened too, valued and included. Most of all he trusts all of you.

Hs is full of stories! He becomes a high energy, speed talking story teller afterschool and we love to see this side to him.

The credit goes to all of your staff not just the Innovator's team. Every single one of you have had some kind of hand in making his adjustment to school life not just a positive one but an amazing one! We could not be happier with little Zac's staff and centre.

A very special shoutout to the Innovator's teacher's. Miss Taylor and Miss Hayley. Thank you to all the tear's wiped, cuddles given, encouragement and praise. Support, love and guidence. We appreciate it more than you will ever know.

Thank you. From Brooklyn and family.

Great center, clean and maintained well with the craziness of so many children. Staff are absolutely beautiful and make you feel welcome, and they are always there to talk and help if you have any concerns. They are hands on with children like they are their own. They have amazing activities for the children ranging from soccer, basketball and even yoga there is so much to list not enough space. Would definitely recommend them to any parents A+ service with a family feel Love it 😊

My daughter started at Little Zaks Narellan when they first opened the doors last year. She has learnt so much and has become more confident in herslef and it's all beacause of her fantastic educators she has, every week she cant wait to go to school to see what shes going to learn.
Little Zaks provides the best environment and experiences for the children to learn and develop in, my daughter loves her French class and when she gets to do some cooking classes. This is fantastic they offer the children these fun experiences.
They also have great communication and keep parents up to date with things happening within the centre constantly through Educa which I love and I especially love it as it's a way of seeing what my daughter has done on the days she is at school.

Miss Chris and Mr Joey should be very proud of the centre and educators they all do a fantastic job.😀😀

Our twin boys started in October. Being a first time mum, it’s scary leaving your children in the hands of people you had only just met. I’d been working myself up for weeks about leaving them thinking I’d be a mess at drop off. The girls at Little Zaks Narellan Vale made the transition so easy for my twin boys and for my partner and I as parents. They called us to let us know how they were going and when I call them, they always know sleep time and when they’ve eaten. They share with me when they are unsettled and when they are happy. Hiding nothing from my partner and I as parents. They are always so happy and willing to help. Always helping me to the car with the boys. The managers are also incredible always keeping families updated, organising inclusions and excursions for the children and encouraging parent input. They made the enrolment process extremely easy and are always welcoming when they see you at the centre. I couldn’t recommend a centre more than here. Being an educator myself and working in many centres. I only wanted the best for my boys and this centre is giving them that. My boys are now learning in a more stimulating environment and building new relationships. I am extremely happy and love this centre and it’s staff! 😍

My daughter has attended Lil Zak's The Vale since their first day of opening and loves it!
She's made so many new friends, her confidence has improved so much, and I think this is all because of her wonderful educators.
Everyone at The Vale is so welcoming which makes me feel so comfortable leaving her there.

Had a visit at this center. Got a very warm welcome from the staff at reception. Was shown around the center, each of the rooms and the outdoor environments. Was so bright and colorful in the rooms and great outdoor spaces and equipment. All the staff were friendly and welcoming towards me. Great learning areas displayed that were inviting to all the children. Happy an playful environment. Very impressed with this center and would recommend it to others.

My kids love going to Little Zak's. From day one the staff had been amazing, professional and always informative about what is happening. Little Zak's always puts on events to bring the families together. Little Zak's has a lot to offer that ensures the development of the kids

My Daughter (4 yrs) spends most of the week at Little Zak’s Narellan Vale and she loves it! The staff are kind and friendly, the educators have genuin connection with the children and their families. My daughter really enjoys the included activists eg French class, sport class, yoga class, school readiness book and activities. She plays, paints, colours, cooks, learns, makes friends, dresses up and explores. They centre uses an app to keep the parents in the know about their child’s day and things that are happening in the centre. This is great for us because at the start my daughter wantn’t one to dive into the details of her day.
Little Zak’s Narellan Vale has a great sense of community, they are constantly involved and teaching the children about their community by having occasional guests speakers or short excursions, food collections for homeless persons week, return and earn, celebrating the festive seasons, participating in NAIDOC week and more. My daughter has gained a greater sense of self and community while at Little Zak’s Narellan Vale.

I am a working mum and my daughter attends 5 days and has done since she was 1. Little Zaks have been really supportive and my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds. I appreciate their help with toilet training and their constant feedback about how she is progressing.

My daughter loves attending Little Zak’s. The staff are friendly and professional. My daughter has learnt and grown so much in her time here. Highly recommend this service.

My son has been at the school since it opened 4 mths ago. The positive changes in all parts of his life are amazing. The owner, teachers, director and the cook go above and beyond nothing is ever too much trouble.... we are so grateful and lucky that we have this centre in our area....
