We need to talk about Ruth Stubbs. 👇

Our school is 6 modules into her caregiver training programme — and honestly? We wish we had done this sooner.

The way our staff now sees, understands, and supports children with special needs has completely shifted. These aren't just skills. This is a whole new way of showing up for the kids in our care.

If you work with children, whether you're a school, crèche, daycare, or caregiver, this programme is for you.

📚 8 modules | Available in Pretoria (Lynnwood) & online
💛 Facilitated by Ruth Stubbs with 30 years of experience in disability inclusion

Don't wait. The children in your classroom need you to know this.

Houston, we have a problem 🚨

A plant and a mother have more in common than you think.

Both need patience.

Both thrive with gentle, consistent care.

Both have a quiet way of making any space feel like home.

And both have a remarkable ability to turn something small into something beautiful.

This Mother's Day, celebrate that connection with a gift that grows. 🌱

Our school is selling a plant starter kit for just R100 — soil, seeds, and everything she needs to watch something flourish under her care.

Because some people just have that gift.

Limited kits available — buy yours today.

💡 Did You Know?
❌ MYTH: You need a medical degree to meaningfully support a child with a disability.
✅ TRUTH: With the right training, any caregiver, parent, or teaching assistant can learn to support feeding, communication, movement, play, and so much more.

You don't need letters after your name.
You need the right knowledge — and someone to guide you through it.

That's exactly what Ruth Stubbs has been doing for nearly 30 years.
Her 8-module Disability Training Programme at Baby Therapy Centre is practical, accessible, and built for you.

📍 Lynnwood, Pretoria | Online option available

Today, on Autism Awareness Day, we pause to listen, to learn, and to truly see.

Autism is not something to be “fixed” — it is a different way of experiencing the world. Behind every diagnosis is a unique individual with their own strengths, challenges, perspectives, and incredible potential.

For many families, the journey includes moments of uncertainty, resilience, and deep love. It calls for patience, understanding, and a community that chooses compassion over judgment.

Let us move beyond awareness into acceptance.
Let us create spaces where every child is supported, every voice is valued, and every difference is respected.

Because inclusion is not just an idea — it is something we practice every day.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures — sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. These seizures can vary widely in type and severity, ranging from brief lapses in attention or muscle jerks to full loss of consciousness and convulsions. It affects people of all ages and can have many different causes, including genetics, brain injury, or infection, though in many cases the cause is unknown.

Today, we pause to recognise the strength, resilience, and quiet courage of those living with rare diseases. 💜

A rare disease may affect only a small number of people, but together, they impact millions of lives worldwide—children, families, and communities navigating uncertainty every day. Behind every diagnosis is a story of perseverance, advocacy, and hope.

At Chrysalis School & Development Centre, we see firsthand how early intervention, support, and informed care can change the trajectory of a child’s life. Awareness is not just about information—it’s about understanding, inclusion, and action.

Let’s continue to learn, share, and stand together—because no condition is too rare to deserve attention, care, and compassion.

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.
