Our Facilities

Apricot Tree Centre is committed to the stimulation and development of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Apricot Tree strives to provide the highest quality service; enabling each learner to reach their full potential. We cater for learners with unique disabilities who are often not accepted in the public or mainstream special needs schools. As each learner is unique and they have different needs, an ISP (Individualised Support Plan) is set up to establish specific attainable goals and is designed to enable the highest level of development.

We keep our classrooms to a maximum of 7 learners per class. This ensures that learners receive the maximum educational benefit possible.

As each learner is unique and they have different needs, an IEDP (Individual Education Development Program) is set up for them establishing specific attainable goals and is designed to enable the highest level of development.

The Centre has a holistic approach, directing its efforts not only towards the development of the learners, but also towards the support of families with special needs children.
