Nurturing Children’s Skills and Knowledge From the Very Beginning: Building a Toddler's Day Care Center

We are thrilled to share our vision for creating a Toddler’s Day Care Center, an essential addition to the Live and Learn in Kenya Education Center. Our goal is to provide a nurturing environment where children’s passion for learning is ignited from the very beginning. With your support, we can make a significant impact on the lives of many toddlers, ensuring they receive the best start possible.

Our Vision

Our Toddler’s Day Care Center is dedicated to enhancing the intellectual, emotional, physical, and mental development of each child through child-centered childcare. By creating a safe, conducive learning environment, we aim to nurture every child’s skills and potential, preparing them for a successful transition into preschool.

Preparing Toddlers for Their Preschool Stage

The early years of a child's life are crucial for acquiring essential knowledge and skills. Our Toddler Care program at the Live and Learn in Kenya Education Center is meticulously designed to introduce toddlers to preschool fundamentals. We emphasize personalized care, ensuring each child receives fixed attention and immediate responses to their needs. Through a group care setting, we help children develop social skills and engage in activities that promote learning and development.

What Awaits Each Child With Our Toddler Care?

Our planned comprehensive Toddler Care program includes:

• Indoor and Outdoor Playtime: Encouraging physical activity and social interaction.
• Music & Arts Time: Fostering creativity and self-expression.
• Story Time: Enhancing language skills and imagination.
• Basic Problem-solving: Developing critical thinking abilities.
• Potty Training: Supporting independence and self-care.
• Gross Motor Skills: Promoting physical coordination and strength.
• Naptime: Ensuring rest for optimal growth.
• Mealtime: Providing nutritious meals for healthy development.
• Medical and Dental Care

Our Immediate Need

Currently, we are registering 30 three-year-olds (15 girls and 15 boys) to join our program. We need to have the Day Care Center built and ready by mid-October to welcome these children for the new school year starting in January. The construction company has assured us that the building will be ready by mid-October if we are able to raise the funds as soon as possible.

To achieve this, we require your support to meet our funding goal. The construction of the Toddler’s Day Care Center will cost approximately $29,000. This investment will help us provide a safe, stimulating environment for the poorest of the poor, ensuring they receive the quality care and education they deserve at a very young age.

Your Support Matters

By supporting our initiative, you are not just contributing to the construction of a building; you are investing in the future of these children. Together, we can create a space where young minds are nurtured, talents are discovered, and lifelong learning habits are formed.

We deeply appreciate your consideration and support. With your help, we can turn this vision into reality and make a lasting difference in the lives of many children who most likely would not have had a chance to a bright future.

 Asante sana - thank you so much!

Days of biblically heavy rainfall have devastated Kenya. 

Just when we thought the continued construction of the Live and Learn in Kenya Education Center in Nakuru was coming along very well - the rain began to fall. It could have been worse, but it was bad enough. The entire girls' restroom building was completely broken down.  Toilets and sinks were ripped down as the walls fell. We must have it built as soon as possible - that is - as soon as we have the funds for it. We need to raise $8600 to reconstruct this building!

Schools in Kenya have been closed and it is planned that they reopen on May 13th - if the weather and circumstances of the school allow it.

Thank you for any support possible. We appreciate every donation.

Asante sana - thank you
