About us

Laying the foundation for lifelong learning

Makueni County’s Early Childhood Development and Education programme nurtures children from their very first classroom.

Our commitment

Safe, inclusive and stimulating early learning

At Makueni County, we believe that early childhood development is the foundation of lifelong learning and success. Our ECDE programme is designed to nurture children’s growth by providing a safe, inclusive and stimulating environment that fosters cognitive, social and emotional development from an early age.

With 1,431 ECDE centres across the county, we are committed to delivering accessible, high-quality early education to all. Our approach integrates modern teaching techniques, holistic care and community involvement, ensuring children have the best possible start in life.

Our teachers are well-trained professionals dedicated to supporting each child’s unique potential.
