Our Mission

The Butterfly Centre seeks to be the leading center of excellence in providing holistic and tailored care for children with special needs and young people with disabilities. We believe that every child and young person with a disability thrives, grows, and achieves their full potential through comprehensive care, innovative programs, and compassionate support, fostering an environment of inclusivity and belonging. We seek to create a world where all children and young people, regardless of their abilities, are celebrated for their unique qualities and given the tools they need to reach their full potential. We envision a society where inclusivity is the norm, and every child and young person with a disability is supported, respected, and has access to the opportunities they deserve. We look to achieve this by advocating for their rights, providing proper care and support, encouraging inclusive communities, and promoting a society that values diversity for children and young adults.
