Principal, Entabeni Nursery & Preschool
“Entabeni is all about giving children the best possible start in life.”
I started my preschool out of a love for children and a lifelong dream of becoming a preschool teacher. After years as an assistant teacher at several preschools in town, I felt ready to create a space in my own community.
In January 2022, I opened Entabeni with just four children, including my own. I cooked healthy meals myself and used my home to create classrooms and play areas.
Space is limited, our buildings and playgrounds need upgrades, and there isn't always enough funding for staff salaries or learning materials. Even so, we keep going — committed to giving every child the care, attention and strong foundation they deserve.
