OUR NEW LOGO

Metaphor for change

Our new logo: A symbol of a butterfly. We feel butterflies are frequently used as a metaphor for personal growth and change. They remind us that positive transformation is within reach.

Colour meaning: The orange colours reflects a sense of optimism, warmth, and excitement, creating a visually engaging and uplifting experience. It symbolizes the boundless energy and joy that children bring to the world.
