Bizweni Centre for Children wtih Disabilities

About

Bizweni Centre for Children with Disabilities is registered as a Special Needs Day Care Centre in Somerset West.

We currently have 62 wonderful children ranging from 2 years to 18 years old. The children comin in each day to receive education, love, care and the necessary therapeutic interventions. The majority of our children come from disadvantaged communites, where access to education and therapeutic interventions is extremely limited for children with disabilites.

Bizweni Centre was established over 20 years ago to provide a safe, loving environment for children with disabilities to learn and grow according to their own potential. Now years later, Bizweni Centre has grown and operates as a 'school'. The children are divided into 5 classrooms, the lower 3 classes are for the younger children and Class 4 and 5 make up the Life Skills section for children aged 12-18 years old.

We have an incredible team of staff including occupational therapists, a speech therapist, a remedial therapist, teachers and carers. From the time children arrive from the bus until they go home, they are exposed to an environment rish in learning, language and care. One of their favourite lessons is music which is part of our music stimulation program.
