2 ECD centers supported with Development of age appropriate playing and learning materials

With overall objective of enhancing awareness and fundamental importance of ECCD, the Nawiri CDP, during the financial year 2021-22 supported 2 ECD Centers with assorted playing materials benefitting 310 children (158 M, 152 F). This will promote quality learning for children at the center and as well reduce congestions in class.

12 ECD Fun day supported

During the same period, in collaboration with the department of ECDE, fun days were supported across the 3 counties of Samburu, Isiolo and Marsabit. These sessions were meant for children to have fun and play which are vital aspects in growth and development of a child. Various games were played by the children supported by ECDE teachers and other government officials who graced the occasion. The programme supported 3 ECDE centres from each of the 4 sites covered by Nawiri CDP which totals to 12 in number.

Providing preschool children with playing equipment is crucial as it fosters physical, cognitive, and social development. Playgrounds with age-appropriate equipment enhance motor skills, coordination, and spatial awareness. They encourage creativity, problem-solving, and imaginative play. Additionally, group play promotes social interaction, communication, and the development of essential life skills like sharing and cooperation. In sum, such equipment is not just fun; it’s an integral part of early childhood education, helping children grow physically, mentally, and emotionally.
