Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the problems faced by
nursery schools in Owimbi zone, Bonda district Kenya. A number of
nursery schools have come up to cater for children and this is so
because of the realization of the importance of nursery education.
However these schools are faced with a lot of problems. The specific
objectives of the study were to determine the relationship between
the development of a country and nursery education and to show
how other stake holders can reduce these problems. The study
employed Qualitative and Quantitative design. Findings of the study
reveal that nursery schools have a lot of problems which include
unsafe environment, lack of feeding programs, lack of instructional
materials and lack of government regulation. The study gave the
following recommendations;
There's need for government to take into consideration the problems
of the nursery and respond to them. The government should be
responsible for making the curriculum that is suitable for the children
and should make sure they supervise them to ensure quality.
The parents should work hand in hand with the teachers and the
school heads for the smooth running of the school for example
feeding programs can be planned with the parents. The parents
should also make sure their children are escorted to school to avoid
accidents. Basing on the study it can be concluded that nursery
schools are faced with many challenges which need immediate
attention.
