Flying Kites Preschool

Need & Opportunity

Across Kenya, only 16% of children attend early childhood education classes, which is even lower in rural districts. Flying Kites wanted to provide early childhood education to complement the existing school campus, serving the early learners to pre-university levels.

Solution & Value Add

The one-story, open concept structure includes three primary areas: a central learning zone, a quiet zone, and an art zone. The ceiling is cypress T&G surrounded by glass windows to allow natural light into the interior space. At the Flying Kites Preschool, students receive integrative services aimed at meeting the entire needs of the whole child, including access to nutritious food, clean water, social work services, education programming, and extracurricular activities.
