ZACK - The
Educational Cafe
A change towards Inclusive Education
A holistic education and learning support centre in Surat, offering personalised academic guidance, open schooling pathways, special education, related therapies and support services. Located in Vesu, Surat, we create a safe, nurturing environment where children learn at their own pace and grow with confidence.
Where Learning Feels Like Home
ZACK – The Educational Cafe was established in the year 2015 in Surat, by Mrs. Jaanvi Devnani with the ambition to introduce a unique way of learning - creating a holistic, child-centred learning environment that supports children academically, emotionally, and socially.
We got inspired by the name ZACK due to it's Hebrew origin – "The Lord has remembered", and the word 'Cafe' denotes – "A Relaxed Social Space", since it gives the feeling of comfort and relaxation.
Thereupon, connecting these words together with 'Education' we got the name, 'ZACK – The Educational Cafe'.
To live up to our name we always try to make our institute a comfort zone for the kids so that whenever they enter, they are relaxed, cheerful, and secure, precisely how they would feel in their homes or at a cafe.
Vision
To create a future where every child grows with confidence, clarity, and emotional strength. We envision a world where learning feels natural and fearless, where children understand their abilities, express themselves freely, and develop values that guide them through life. Our vision is to nurture individuals who are not only academically capable, but also emotionally grounded, socially aware, and prepared for real-world challenges.
Mission
Our mission is to provide personalised education and learning support through a warm, respectful environment that supports each child’s academic, emotional, social, and behavioural growth. Through clear teaching practices, holistic programs, and consistent collaboration with families, we work every day to build strong foundations, meaningful skills, and a sense of security that helps children learn with ease and purpose.

Our Educational Approach
Every child is different.
Every child needs to learn.
At ZACK - The Educational Cafe, we recognise that no two children learn the same way. As a holistic education and learning support centre in Surat, we focus on understanding the individual needs of every child who walks through our doors. We believe in "Nurture according to Nature" and that is why we don't have one policy for all.
We personalize learning plans according to the needs of the child. Each child has potential, and through minute observations, we try to know their abilities, learning style, emotional needs, and behavioural patterns. Through careful observation and consistent guidance, we help children discover their strengths and develop confidence in their own learning journey.
Methodology
Our first step is to help each child settle comfortably into the learning environment at ZACK. Once they adapt, we focus on building essential academic skills such as reading, comprehension, writing, and age-appropriate use of technology.
Along with academics, every child receives systematic guidance to strengthen key life & learning skills, including:
Interpersonal relationships
Communication skills
Problem-solving technique
Self-management
Self-learning
Independent thinking
Creativity
To support these areas, we incorporate approaches that encourage:
