Questions people ask about pre-primary centres near them
- How do I find pre-primary centres near me in Kenya?
- Press use my location in the tool above and allow it when your phone or browser asks. The page lists the closest pre-primary centres with the distance to each. If you would rather not share your location, choose your county and town instead.
- How many pre-primary centres are in Kenya?
- 28,140 pre-primary centres are on the register, and 26,005 of them have a position we trust, which is what the tool measures to. Nakuru County has the most, with 1,612.
- Is my location stored?
- No. Your position is sent once, in the request that asks for the list, and the answer comes straight back. We do not save it, log it or send it to analytics.
- Why is a school I know missing from the pre-primary centres list?
- 2,135 of the 28,140 have no position we trust, so the tool cannot measure to them, but they still appear on their county and sub-county pages. A school that opened after the Ministry list was made may not be on the register at all. You can add it on the add a school page.
- How is the distance worked out?
- In a straight line, from your position or from the centre of the town you pick, to the school's recorded position. It is not a road distance, and the road can be much longer.
- Does this list show fees or ratings?
- No. Fees appear on a school's page only when the school publishes them through its SchoolRegistry profile, and we never estimate them. We publish no ratings we were not given.
