Little Zak’s Academy Dundas Valley
Looking for a place where your little one is genuinely known, loved, and learning every single day? We’d love to introduce you to Little Zak’s Academy Dundas Valley!
We care for children aged 0–6 in a warm, play-based environment where education is at the heart of everything we do. Our purpose-built centre features four dedicated classrooms and four outdoor spaces — three large playgrounds plus a dedicated smaller playground attached exclusively to our Preschool room, designed to support exploration, creativity, and independence at every stage.
🍼 Nursery (0–2 years) – A safe and nurturing space for our youngest learners. Our educators work closely with families to support each baby’s individual routine and milestones, building the secure foundations they need to grow and thrive.
🌿 Toddlers (2–3 years) – A busy, joyful room where toddlers explore, discover, and build confidence through play. We support language, social skills, and independence in a warm and structured environment that helps little ones flourish.
⭐ Junior Prep (3–4 years) – Where our dedicated Prep School program begins. Children follow a structured, purposeful curriculum that builds early literacy, numeracy, and the everyday skills that set them up for a confident start to school. Our Junior Prep children also use Reading Eggs, a digital literacy program that makes learning to read engaging and fun and families get their own access to continue the learning journey at home too.
🌈 Senior Prep (4–6 years) – Our Prep School program continues with a strong focus on school-readiness (routines, independence, writing, and numeracy) so every child walks into kindergarten feeling prepared, capable, and excited. Reading Eggs continues to support their literacy journey right through to transition, with home access so the whole family can be part of the progress.
