Chrysalis School & Development Centre

Love means a little something different to each of us at Chrysalis School and Developmental Centre.

Sometimes it looks like a teacher who patiently helps us try again.
Sometimes it sounds like our friends laughing.
Sometimes it feels like a high-five!

We may learn in our own way and at our own pace, but our hearts love just as big.

This Valentine’s Day, we celebrate the people who believe in us, encourage us, and remind us that being different is something to be proud of.

Thank you for seeing our strengths, cheering for our progress, and walking this journey with us. Because of you, we know we belong. ❤️

We are proud to support the sale of our Goodie Bag for Her, lovingly packed by our Senior Phase learners with special needs.

This initiative is far more than a fundraiser - it is a meaningful developmental activity that helps our learners strengthen sensory processing, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, concentration and task sequencing.

By participating in the packing process, learners gain confidence, independence and the joy of contributing to something purposeful.

Every goodie bag purchased supports inclusion and skill development - one small task making a big difference.

Thank you for supporting ability over disability.

Today, 3 December, we honour the International Day of Persons with Disabilities — a reminder that inclusion and accessibility are not optional, but essential.

At Chrysalis School & Development Centre, we stand with children of all abilities and their families. Every day we see the power of early intervention, specialised care, and a community that believes in every child’s potential.

Let’s continue to build a world where every person is valued, supported, and given the chance to thrive.

Our team just wrapped up an awesome Makaton Workshop, and we’re feeling more connected, confident, and ready to integrate the new knowledge into the daily program.

Makaton is a language programme using a systematic multi-modal approach of speech, signs and symbols to teach communication, language and literacy skills to people with communication and learning difficulties.

We’re walking away with fresh tools and knowledge to enhance communication development.

Here’s to growth & learning!!! 🚀

“Our heritage is not just a reflection of where we come from,
but a bridge to where we are going.

Let us honor the past,
embrace the present,
and celebrate the rich diversity
that shapes our future.”
