Abstract
Early childhood development education is the basic foundation of the child. This is the
introduction of the child to the reading and writing while building on the listening and
speaking skills introduced to the child at home. Therefore, it is important to look for ways
and means to improve it.

introduction of free primary education (FPE) in all the public primary schools in Kenya with
the enrolment of the children in Early childhood Development centre. The research was
carried out in Awendo district in Nyanza province, a Municipality with five zones The
researcher was interested with the effects of FPE in the enrolment of children in ECDE
centers in the Municipality. After the findings the researcher was able to come up with the
possible solutions to those effects. The education stake holders may use to improve the
education of the child in the Municipality, and the government also may adopt it.

successfully produced a report with real facts. The delimitation was added advantages that
