Like most first time parents, we relied heavily on “The Book” while waiting for our bundle of joy to enter this world. We learnt that the most formative years of a child is 0-6(some say 8) years. We knew then that we needed to get our lovely angel, Waithera, into the best kindergarten in Nairobi. I had a friend whose son was impressively confident and eloquent at a charming 8 years. His mother told me about Kensington. I promptly went there with my 1 year old and booked her for the next year. She got in… yeah! I never looked back, and sent her two sisters to Kensington as they came along. Kensington was an amazing foundation for my girls. They were all there from Rainbow class to Yellow Class(year 1). The interaction with other children and teachers from all different backgrounds taught them early in life that we are all the same no matter where you are from. This learning of tolerance is one of the biggest things I am most grateful for.
