A nice change compared to other children's playgrounds. Located in the back of a shady strip mall. Hard to find parking. Parking lot is not well lit at night. Love the wristband system so no kids walks out accidentally. Staff are very caring. Constant vacuuming and attention to small details. Will go again. Balloon room and little kids area is great too. Need more places like this. Change tables in family washroom. Snacks for sale. AMAZING ROTATING PALM TREE!

I have been sending my child(ren) to Zac's Childcare, full time, for the past 3 years…read more My first was 15 months old when he started going. I'm sad to take him out for school next week. He went through their toddler, preschool, and montessori programs. All great programs, with great teachers! He has grown in leaps and bounds thanks to Zac's fantastic staff. My second was 9 months old when she started going. They are amazing at working around every infant's different schedule. They follow whatever schedule parents say their infant has worked themselves into, and (to my amazement) somehow juggle up to 6 different infant schedules quite smoothly. They are also great at slowly transitioning them into the toddler schedule when the time is right. The staff are down to earth people who are wonderful at making you feel like your child is their whole world. They are always happy to tell you about your child's day and they work with you at helping your child be the best they can be. They are able to recognize your child's needs and are great at discussing with you what they think your child could benefit from most (for example, strategies to challenge their mind, offering them responsibilities to encourage good behaviour, and rewarding good behaviour in a positive and practical way). They are always working hard at keeping their facility clean (every evening I pick up my children, staff are busy mopping and cleaning after their busy day), and, as their needs change, making their classrooms more accommodating for the children and giving them as much space to play and learn as possible. My daughter smiles and laughs her way into the daycare every morning and my son tells me most evenings that he wants to stay there "forever and ever". We are always greeted with smiling faces and hugs, and sent home with well wishes for the evening/weekend. I would recommend this daycare to any of my friends.

The owner, Alicia, is very friendly and would always welcome parents to communicate issues and talk out any problems that their kids might be having. They have set up the area quite neatly and snugly for little ones. Teachers are young and super amazing who put all their efforts to provide the little ones a great experience. I have been extremely happy even though the fee seemed a little high but I think it was worth it. My girls are both in higher grades now, but they do cherish and miss those days of forest grove! ------------ Adding a comment after learning about the recent changes at this preschool. The ownership has switched and staff is all new. My review was based for years 2011 - 2014 only. I have no experience wth the new staff and owner.

I have not met all the teachers but the office manager fills in for the director/owner and given her tone and actions, makes me not want to meet any more staff. The place looks great but as a parent, I don't care about the appearance but do care about the approach!!!! It's a pity...

Both of our daughters absolutely loved being there. On occasions when I arrived early, I quietly observed the children playing outside. It was heartwarming to see the teachers actively engaged with them. They promptly address any conflicts, fostering a positive and nurturing environment. I wholeheartedly recommend this school!

The meals are good and so are the available hours, extra curricular activities etc. Also the children go outside twice a day which has been amazing for my kids. Sometimes as a new parent they forget to tell me rules (until I have broken them ha ha) or things required but it is quickly fixed with their help and cheerful attitudes. Love Everything so far!
