Hello,

My family and I are just settling in for a year+ in Nairobi. I am about to plunge into locating a preschool for our daughter. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a good preschool in the Riverside area. Areas of concern: safety, discipline, staff background (professional and medical), structure, hygiene.

Thank you,

ana

PS Anyone know of a good hairdresser with European experience?

Try Key international located on Ole Odume off Argwings Kodhek road, the school is very popular with expat and locals alike very high standards.

Hi,

Depending on how far you want to drive and the curriculum you want, here are some kindergartens that would be near or short drive from Riverside.

Hope this is useful

Good luck!

Probably too far away for you but worth the trip. You won't find anything this nice in Riverside.
Spread the word.

Thanks Everyone. You have all provided several resources to view. It is important to have Expat's perspective and/expectations. I now have recommendations from both Kenyan friends and Expats which is a great start. Kenya seems to have a wealth of possibilities which is wonderful compared to other places that have limited choices.
