The design and implementation of the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degree Programme  in Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) is a response to the need to have appropriately trained Educators in Early Childhood in Kenya in particular and the East African region in general. The proposed Programme will bridge the gap created by scarcity of highly trained manpower in ECDE. At the same time, the Programme will also increase access to university Education in the country. High demand for qualified ECDE personnel has been exacerbated by the ever changing socio-economic conditions in Kenya and the rest of East Africa. An increasing number of parents and guardians are pursuing life supporting activities and therefore spend less time with their children when such children require parental care and guidance. There is, therefore, a definite need to prepare ECDE personnel who can play the roles of Educators and surrogate parents. Indeed, over 50 percent of pre-school teachers in Kenya are untrained Early childhood is the foundation stage for the development of human beings. Learning and developmental activities that take place during this stage, have significant lifelong effect on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development of children. This stage, therefore, is important in the development of a healthy and well balanced child, adolescent and adult personality.
