Ever since RJ took over as the director, the transformation of this childcare center has been absolutely incredible! You can truly feel the immense care, thoughtfulness, and warmth in every single minor change. I have personally witnessed this daycare improve step-by-step into the wonderful place it is today, which is all thanks to Ms. RJ’s dedication and the amazing teamwork of her staff. Because of their exceptional care, I feel completely at ease leaving my child here. Ms. RJ is onsite every single day, ensuring that any issues are addressed immediately. Whether it's morning drop-off or evening pick-up, she always greets us with the warmest, sweetest smile. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

The center is bright, spacious, and clean; my child loves it here. The principal, RJ, is very dedicated and responsible, maintains regular communication with parents, and is very approachable. My child's teachers are also very responsible; my child really likes them. Thank you.

The educators are caring, patient, and genuinely supportive of each child’s development and wellbeing. The centre is always clean, welcoming, and well-organised, and the daily learning activities are engaging and thoughtfully planned. Communication with families is also excellent, which gives great peace of mind. Knowing RJ as the Centre Director gives me great confidence in the quality of care and leadership within the centre. RJ is approachable, supportive, and truly passionate about creating a positive environment for both children and families.

I had such a great experience with this childcare centre. The environment feels warm, safe, and genuinely caring for the children. You can really see how much effort the staff put into making every child feel comfortable, happy, and supported every day. A special thank you to RJ — she is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. The way she interacts with the children is beautiful to see. She brings such positive energy, always caring, attentive, and full of warmth. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and it makes a big difference for both the kids and the parents. Thank you for creating such a welcoming and trustworthy place for children to grow and learn. Highly recommended.

Little Zaks West Ryde has been fantastic. The teachers are attentive to the child's needs & give personalised comments during pickup. They also proposed special development plans to meet our goals. The center is clean and run very well. I feel like I can trust the teachers and the center director. We couldn't have picked a better place for our daughter.

Both of my kids attend Little Zaks West Ryde and we truly feel we can trust them completely. The staff are reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. The director, RJ, is especially outstanding — always willing to listen, incredibly responsive, and quick to provide helpful feedback. We feel confident every day knowing our children are in such capable hands.

Little Zak's West Ryde is run by an absolutely amazing Director RJ. She is so great at communication and always letting me know whats happening with my son. The educators are polite and the centre is always clean and tidy. I have had a great experience here and would recommend this centre heavily, so long as RJ is still here!

A Truly Transformed Centre!! After being part of the Little Zak's West Ryde community for a while now, I have to say the difference over recent months has been nothing short of remarkable. There's been a real shift in energy and it's entirely for the better. A huge part of that transformation comes down to the fresh leadership that's been brought in. RJ, the new Centre Director, has made an extraordinary impact in what feels like a short amount of time. From the moment you walk through the door, you notice it the centre just runs beautifully now. Everything feels intentional, structured and genuinely warm. It's the kind of place where you drop your child off in the morning and leave feeling completely at ease, not just reassured. The educator team deserves every bit of praise they get. They're not just doing a job you can tell they're genuinely invested in every child's journey. The way they engage with the kids is thoughtful, nurturing and full of energy. Whether it's structured learning, creative play or just being a comforting presence, these educators bring heart to everything they do. As a parent, watching your child thrive in that environment is the greatest reassurance you can ask for. I also have to give a special shoutout to the chef, honestly, an unsung hero of the centre! The meals being served are impressive. Fresh ingredients, balanced nutrition, and clearly prepared with real thought given to what children actually enjoy eating. My child comes home talking about lunch, which says everything! The overall atmosphere now is one of pride, care and community. The improvements speak for themselves, and the whole team deserves enormous credit for what they've built. If you're a family in the area weighing up your childcare options, I wouldn't hesitate, Little Zak's West Ryde is absolutely worth your consideration. 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌

To anyone who is contemplating a child care facility in the area for their child really should organise a tour/meet with the team at LZWR. To be completely transparent my son takes a long time to gain trust and adapt to new faces along with having some medical issues, the centre did go through a big shift with staff and management and to be perfectly honest I was unsure whether it would be the right choice to keep him enrolled in the centre. I am SO glad we didn’t end up leaving because the new director RJ and assistant director Lala have done a phenomenal job in taking over, creating the most beautiful, harmonious environment for the children to thrive in. My son is the proof in the educators / directors hard work, he is SO happy, excited driving to daycare, learns new skills, has a huge outdoor space which he loves and has less tantrums at home! His medical issues which I was concerned about mostly has been handled with every action plan and step that needs to be taken and has given me peace of mind whilst he isn’t in my care. He adores his teachers- they are all such beautiful people who really do care about what they do. I can’t recommend the centre enough. Thank you LZWR !!!!!
