~ Who We Are

More Than a School — A Community

Playhouse Kindergarten is a warm, inclusive community where every child’s potential is recognized and nurtured from the very start. As a registered non-profit organisation, we are dedicated to serving children with disabilities and special needs in partnership with the Kenya Institute of Special Needs (KISE).

We offer a unique environment where differences are celebrated, not merely accommodated. Through our renewed focus, Playhouse Kindergarten stands at the forefront of early intervention and inclusive education for Kenya’s most vulnerable young learners.
