Encouraging a culture of reading
The addition of the kiddies book corner comes at a time when many educators and child development experts continue to stress the importance of fostering reading habits from an early age.
Reading has been shown to support language development, improve concentration, encourage creativity, and strengthen emotional intelligence in children. By incorporating books into the salon environment, Ntando hopes to create a space where learning and self-care can coexist.
A vision for community and growth
Sbahle Siyakhula, which translates to “We are beautiful, we are growing,” was founded with the intention of creating a safe, inspiring, and empowering space for children and families.
The introduction of the book corner further reinforces Ntando’s commitment to nurturing young minds while providing quality haircare services. Her approach has been praised by many parents and supporters, who have applauded the initiative for encouraging literacy and creating meaningful experiences for children.
Building more than a business
For Ntando, Sbahle Siyakhula represents more than just a business venture — it is an opportunity to positively impact children’s lives and contribute to their personal development.
As the salon continues to grow, the addition of the kiddies book corner highlights Ntando’s belief that spaces designed for children can also inspire learning, imagination, and a lifelong love of reading.
