    I don’t like the Adventures room (0-2.5 year). Each time i enter i see crawling age babies in educators cuddles but all the walking age kids are wondering around crying with runny noses there is no one to play with them or do any activity with them. unfortunately the ratio is 1 to 4 but there are few under 1 yr old babies who needs more care so there won’t be enough attention to other kids. Few times i saw babies putting stuff in their mouth or heating there head somewhere but no one was watching.

    Hey Christine, Thank you for your feedback. We've looked into our records and unfortunately, we’re unable to locate you in our system as a current or past family. We also don’t have an "Adventures" room for children aged 0–2.5 years — our rooms are divided into 0–1.5 and 1.5–2.5 age groups to ensure each child receives the right level of care and support for their stage of development. At Little Zak’s, every age group follows a tailored educational program designed to nurture individual growth, support emotional development, and encourage learning through play. Our team ensures all children are engaged in meaningful activities throughout the day, and families can view real-time updates, including the purpose behind each activity, via our Kinderm8 app. We take the safety, wellbeing, and development of all children in our care very seriously. If you have specific concerns or would like to discuss this further, we welcome you to contact the centre directly. Warm regards, Little Zak's

    Little Learners West Ryde is a fantastic day care centre with some of the most amazing, caring and diligent educators I’ve ever encountered. My daughter has attended Little Learners since August 2021, since she was in the baby room, and is now in the toddler room and has been thriving since day one. They’ve helped her excel in many areas and continue to nourish her education and development through a range of hands-on activities, programs, incursions and free play. I’m so grateful to have come across Little Learners and that my child has been able to develop and grow with the educators. Highly recommend.
