At Aldeia, we believe children and families thrive when learning and wellness are integrated—not separated. We are a collaborative community of educators, professionals, and family partners working together to support the whole child. Our approach weaves together learning support, emotional wellbeing, and behaviour support strategies within everyday contexts. Rather than separating behaviour, learning, or emotions, we focus on how children function in real life—at school, at home, and in their relationships—so they can grow with confidence, connection, and purpose.
At Aldeia, collaboration is not an add‑on—it is how we work. Educators and therapists plan together, integrating learning support with behaviour‑therapeutic and emotional regulation strategies in ways that feel natural, respectful, and practical for children and families.
Families are central to this process. Parents and caregivers are active partners, helping to shape goals, reinforce strategies at home, and celebrate progress along the way.
By combining learning, wellbeing, and behaviour support, we move beyond labels and diagnoses to focus on strengths, growth, and real‑world impact—skills that support children not only academically, but socially, emotionally, and in everyday life.
We start by understanding each child within their family and learning environment. From there, our team co‑creates a personalised pathway that may include educational support, therapeutic input, and practical strategies for home and school. Progress is reviewed together—child, family, educators, and therapists—so support evolves as needs change.
Founded in 2013, Aldeia has grown into an internationally recognised learning and wellness collective supporting children, adults, and families across South Africa, Namibia, and the Netherlands. Over the past decade, our work has been recognised through international awards for family-centred wellbeing and integrative support, reflecting our commitment to meaningful, real-world impact.
At Aldeia, we bring together educators, therapists, and families in a collaborative model that integrates learning support, emotional wellbeing, and behaviour support strategies within learning and everyday life. Rather than treating learning, behaviour, and wellbeing as separate domains, we focus on how individuals function within their environments — at home, at school, and in their relationships — supporting balance, growth, and connection through understanding and care.
Our work is guided by four core principles:
• Integrated wellbeing – supporting emotional, physical, cognitive, and relational development as interconnected parts of the whole;
• Community and collaboration – partnering with families, educators, and professionals across disciplines and borders;
• Empowerment through learning – equipping individuals and families with insight, skills, and confidence for sustainable change.
Through our Wellness Centres, we continue to nurture growth and restore balance — one child, one adult, one family at a time.
