Welcome to ARA Therapy & Learning Centre
Our Background
ARA Therapy and Learning Centre opened its doors in April 2015. The centre originated from the need to have a shared space for professionals involved in supporting children and families in the Helderberg area. ARA means ‘brings rain’ in ancient languages. As rain provides hope of new life, through our services we wish to inspire hope and personal growth to each person and family that crosses our path, supporting each individual to achieve their full potential.
