Abstract
The study was carried out in Nyalenda estate in Kisumu to find out the contribution of skittles
to pre-school attendance by children. The issues raised were availability of physical facilities,
Gender parity in the game, inadequate learning and play equipment, feeding programmes in
the centers and school fees cost.
The researcher used questionnaires for teachers and pupils to obtain information, focus group
discussions with parents of pre-school children and review of written materials. The key
informants were pre-school proprietors, educational officers, quality assurance and standards
officers (school inspectors) and DICECE trainers.
It was discovered that pre-schools that offer conducive learning environment for children,
opportunities for children to play, available playing materials and equipments specifically
skittle game attracts more children to pre-schools .It was therefore recommended that pre
school teachers use play and play materials for teaching new concepts to young children as
this will improve the attendance among pre-school children.
