On Pre-School Education
Here are some pertinent questions you should ask about a pre
school before deciding on one for your child (in each case we answer
with reference to Madari Kindergarten).
MADARI KINDERGARTEN
At Madari Kindergarten, we are so confident of our ability to provide
your children with the best pre-school available that we encourage
you to compare Madari Kindergarten with other pre-schools in Nairobi.
How would you describe
the physical environment of your school?
Madari is located in a quiet,
safe up-market area of Nairobi. The school was specifically built
to feel like a second home to children aged 16 months to 6.5 years.
It has spacious classrooms, a big grassy play area, and a sand pit.
How old is the school?
Parents have entrusted their
children with us since 1980 because of our experience and documented
results.
How does your school
foster intellectual development?
Madari focuses on the immediate development of the child’s
language by emphasizing conversation and interaction with other
children and staff. Reading, writing and mathematic classes are
complemented with countless books for the children’s use.
These books are also available to Madari students for at home development.
Each class has an Assistant ; Playgroup has three assistants so
that children have individual assistannce where needed. Student
teachers are also allowed to train and help in classes.
How does your school
promote social and physical development?
Monday – Thursday: 20 minutes music assembly for all children.
Fridays: 45 min all school sports program.
Weekly: swimming, recorder, computer, art, tae-kwon-do, mini-tennis and Swahili
lessons.
Monthly: Horse riding and various outings.
Daily playtime is also enhanced by plentiful games, toys, and a
large sand area. All activities are parent - approved.
What experience have
your teachers and staff had with children?
Our average employee has over
10 years early childhood teaching experience. The Headmistress has
been a teacher / administrator for 28 years.
Do you provide transportation?
Madari has a school owned van to transport children according to
parents’ needs. This van is exclusively for Madari children.
A female assistant rides in the bus with the children at all times
and children are secured with safety belts.

What meals do you
provide?
We provide hot lunches, afternoon
snacks and assist in Birthday parties at school.
What yearly activities
do you have?
Every term we hold our Parents’
Tea with a speaker on early childhood development/education. We
have an Annual Sports Day, Christmas Concert, Fancy Dress Day, and
Charity Fair to raise money for the under-privileged. We also publish
an ANNUAL YEARBOOK with pictures of all the children staff, testimonials
and pictures from throughout the year.
Madari is a top class pre-school
located at the end of Riverside drive in a beautiful serene
residential area.
