Chrysalis Child Development Centre caters for children with learning difficulties and special needs. The Centre will accommodate learners who have the potential to learn and contribute to society but have barriers preventing them from learning in a mainstream environment. These barriers may consist of, but not be limited to learning difficulties, Cerebral Palsy, genetic syndromes, intellectual disability, dyspraxia, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADHD etc. 

Chrysalis aims to fill a much-needed gap, offering these children the opportunity to grow into valued members of society. 

We are a Learning/Development Centre with specialised, highly trained teachers and therapists on our team. Little Lives  Assessment and Therapy Centre has a multidisciplinary team of therapists and is in close collaboration with Chrysalis.  Little Lives’ therapists are involved in the school on a day-to-day basis.  This fosters a collaborative approach with intensive therapeutic input throughout the day, which assists in achieving individual goals. Therapies that are available at school are Sensory Integration and DIR Floortime OT, Hippotherapy, Speech Therapy, Remedial Therapy, Hydrotherapy, Biokinetics and Physiotherapy. There are also extracurricular activities as well as enrichment groups run by therapists. We aim to expose Differently Abled children to socializing opportunities as well as extra mural activities, that they may not have otherwise had access to.

At Chrysalis Centre, we recognise that children don’t need to pass trigonometry or algebra to be successful… What they do need is TIME.

Time to connect, time to dream, time to learn, time to explore, time to wonder and TIME TO SUCCEED. Time is what Chrysalis and Little Lives are all about.

At Chrysalis we give our children TIME, and within that time, we provide them with access to resources, therapy, and super sparkly teachers to facilitate their growth.

Every child’s needs are different, and if we can provide the time, space and support, every single child will thrive. 

Chrysalis aims to embrace individual ABILITIES, rather than focus on disability. With this approach, we anticipate seeing learners grow in confidence as well as functional ability.
