Nursery school · ages 1–6 · Nairobi

Every day starts
with hello.

Small groups, big mornings, and a garden to grow in. Say hello to Jabari — he's already looking for a new friend.

A day at Chipukizi

Rhythm, not rush. The same gentle shape every day, so little people always know what comes next.

  1. 7:30

    Hello circle

    Songs, hugs, and one wiggly minute of stretching.

  2. 8:30

    Garden play

    Mud kitchen, swings, and the famous snail hunt.

  3. 10:00

    Learning time

    Letters, numbers, and questions — mostly questions.

  4. 12:00

    Lunch & nap

    Warm food cooked on-site, then blankets and quiet music.

  5. 14:30

    Stories & art

    Paint on paper, paint on hands, occasionally paint on teachers.

  6. 16:00

    Goodbye song

    Home time — with today's masterpiece and tomorrow's plan.

Three little classes

Never more than twelve children per room, two teachers in every one.

Sprouts

1 – 2 years

Soft floors, sensory baskets, first words, and a lot of peekaboo. Naps are sacred here.

Saplings

3 – 4 years

Pretend kitchens, counting games, and the year of a thousand "why"s. We answer all of them.

Big Oaks

5 – 6 years

Reading corners, science jars, and school-readiness — built through play, never worksheets.

Why families stay

🧸 Small by design

Max 12 per class. Every teacher knows every child's favourite song.

🌦 Outdoors first

Garden time twice a day, rain boots provided. Mud washes off; confidence sticks.

🗣 Two languages

English and Kiswahili woven through songs, stories, and snack-time chatter.

🥕 Real food

Cooked in our own kitchen each morning. The menu is on the door every week.
