Meet Our Delahey Director
Hi , I’m Zaki ,and I have proudly been part of the Whiz Kidz family since 2017. Over the years I have had the privilege of growing within the organisation, starting as an Educator progressing to Assistant Director for more than 2 years ,and now serving as Centre Director. I’m truly grateful for the opportunities Whiz Kidz has given me and for the amazing team I work alongside every day.
I believe every child deserves to feel safe ,cared for, and valued. When children feel happy and supported, they build confidence ,enjoy learning and develop at their own pace.
My aim is to create a Centre where every child feels they belong and where families feel welcome and involved in their child’s learning journey.
Together with our educators , I am committed to creating positive, respectful and supportive environment. We work together to provide meaningful learning experiences where children can learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
I look forward to getting to know our children and families and being part of their early learning journey.
—Miss Zaki
