A regret in enrolling and keeping our child at Little Zak's Mount Colah for the several months child attended, especially after a change... A regret in enrolling and keeping our child at Little Zak's Mount Colah for the several months child attended, especially after a change in management. The initial manager was pleasant, easy to engage with, courteous and professional. However, in our experience and interactions with staff member who moved into the centre management position, there was a clear lack of professionalism and respect in communication in addition to a general abruptness that made for shocking interactions. There were a handful of educators whose care for the children could be genuinely felt. However, when a child cried at drop off throughout the duration of several months of enrolment but settled within 3days of being placed at a subsequent different daycare and thrived there, we realised Little Zak's Mount Colah was not a good fit for our child's care or our family. Not all centres will meet one's basic requirements of care but it was a lesson learned that a centre rated as exceeding expectations according to formal standards could be as such; great on paper is one thing, reality differed. If a child continues to be unhappy and as parents, there isn't a respectful and professional two way communication that can be had with direct centre management, moving elsewhere is the best decision.

LZ Mt C has had their share of the challenges facing all daycares because we all know the industry is facing staff shortages... LZ Mt C has had their share of the challenges facing all daycares because we all know the industry is facing staff shortages and the like. But what has been great to see over the last 6 months or so are the huge efforts the team and management have made to make improvements in spite of those challenges. I know I'm not the only parent who can really feel that difference. I love that my little one is very attached to her educators (one in particular!) and you can see that her regular educators really care about her in return. She learns so much that I'm constantly surprised by her knowledge, and the kids get to take part in an awesome range of activities - French, yoga and soccer at the moment. The facilities are great too. Read more

My eldest has been attending LZMC for over 2 years and my youngest is about to start in a few months. I have nothing but good things to say about the centre and the team there. The centre is laid out well, it's not too big and feels homey. There are separate play areas for the younger and older kids which is great as I know some centres in the area just have one giant play area. The staff are fantastic and you can tell they really care about the children, even the centre director knows all the kids by name and makes a point of spending time with them. I can't think of a better group to help teach and raise my girls. Would 100% recommend. Read more
