Abstract
The issue of quality education is very critical when
it comes to overall performance of pre-primary schools. Despite
this tremendous increase in access rate in the sub-sector,
provision of quality pre-primary education remains a challenge
across the country. The main purpose of this study was to find
out whether teachers’ qualification influences quality of
Pre-primary school education in Nairobi City County. This
study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The study
targeted ninety (90) ECDE teachers and fifteen (15) principals.
Random sampling procedure and purposive sampling
procedure will be used to sample 40 ECDE teachers and 14
principals. Validity of research instruments was measured
through content validity. Reliability of the research
instruments was determined by carrying out a pilot test of the
instruments using another similar group with the same
characteristics as the one targeted in the study. The collected
data was analyzed using quantitative data analysis approach.
Descriptive analysis such as frequencies and percentages was
used to present quantitative data collected from teachers and
principals.The collected data was analysed with the help of
Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0.
Findings indicated that teachers who were well motivated
performed their duties with minimal supervision.
The study recommended that head teachers should try as much
as possible to recruit qualified staff for effective curriculum
implementation and encourage the stakeholders to motivate the
ECDE teachers to increase their efficiency
