Established in the early 1940s, Ziwani Day Nursery is one of Nairobi’s oldest early childhood education facilities and a key public institution within the historic Ziwani estate in the Kariokor area of Starehe Sub-County. Operated by the Nairobi City County Government, the nursery serves boys and girls aged 2 to 6 years, providing a foundational curriculum alongside essential daycare and nutrition services. As a public facility, it benefit’s from initiatives like the Dishi na County school feeding program, which aims to provide nutritious daily meals for a nominal fee. While the facility has historically faced infrastructure challenges—including a major fire that necessitated classroom reconstruction—it remains a critical community hub, with a dedicated playground designed to foster creativity and social interaction among young learners.
