FOREWARD
The Basic Education Curriculum Framework (BECF) outlines the vision and mission for the curriculum reforms. The Vision of the
curriculum reforms is to develop an engaged, an empowered and ethical citizen while the mission is to to nurture the potential of
every learner.
The framework adopts a Competency Based Curriculum and has identified seven core competences, namely; communication and
collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and imagination, citizenship, digital literacy, learning to learn, and self-
efficacy. It provides a variety of opportunities for identification and nurturing of learners potentials and talents in preparation for life
and the world of work. It is geared towards making learning enjoyable.
The curriculum designs are developed to enable implementation of the Basic Education Curriculum Framework. The design contains
the National Goals of Education, outlines the Early Years Education (EYE), subject general and specific learning outcomes. It also
suggests a variety of learning experiences, assessment, resources and links the topics to values, Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCI)
and to other subjects.
It is my hope that all educators in Early Years Education level will anchor their delivery of Basic and Teacher education on these
Curriculum Designs.

INTRODUCTION
The Pre-primary curriculum design has been developed to embrace the competence based learning approach as stipulated in the basic
education curriculum frame-work (BECF). The curriculum design is available in two volumes which cater for children at the pre-
primary level in the country. It has been divided into two levels: Level I (pre-primary 1) for children aged four years and Level II (pre-
primary 2) for children aged five years. The curriculum covers the following learning areas: Language, Mathematical, Environmental,
Psychomotor and Creative and Religious Education activity areas.
Each learning activity area has both the general and specific learning outcomes clearly stipulated. The learning experiences and the key
inquiry questions have also been provided specifically to give guidance to the users during the curriculum delivery process.
The curriculum has clearly identified core competences to be acquired by learners as they engage in activities in different learning areas.
These core competences include: communication and collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, imagination and creativity,
citizenship, digital literacy, learning to learn and self-efficacy.
Pertinent and contemporary issues (PCIs) have been integrated into the curriculum design to prepare learners for the ever changing
society specifically in order to address the changing needs of the society and ensure the learners safety. These include life skills
development through storytelling, living values, moral values and social responsibility.
This curriculum emphasizes hands-on experiences as learners manipulate real objects and models. Interaction with nature is also
emphasized whereby learners are encouraged to observe living and non-living things in their immediate surroundings as well as during
nature walk, field trips or visits to places of interest.
The curriculum emphasizes holistic development of the learner. This can be achieved by embracing the thematic integrated learning
approach which is ideal for teaching learners in their formative stage of development. The themes are derived from things and situations
that learners are likely to interact with in everyday life. Each theme is expected to cuts across all the activity areas. Learning at the pre-
primary level is expected to be flexible hence a theme may be interrupted to enable learners use an emerging situation as the learning
theme for the period.

SUGGESTED TIME ALLOCATION FOR ACTIVITY AREAS PER WEEK
Note:
1. The time allocated for each activity area is 30 minutes.
2. There should 5 lessons for psychomotor activities (Outdoor) at least each day. The other three lessons under psychomotor and
creative activities are shared among Music, Art and Crafts
vii
NATIONAL GOALS OF EDUCATION
2. Promote social, economic, technological and industrial needs for national development
Education should prepare the learner to play an effective and productive role in the nation.
a) Social Needs
Education should instill social and adaptive skills in the learner for effective participation in the family, community,
national, regional and international development.
b) Economic Needs
Education should prepare the learner with requisite competences that support a modern and independent growing economy.
This should translate into high standards of living for every individual.
viii
5. Promote social equity and responsibility
Education should promote social equity and responsibility. It should provide inclusive and equitable access to quality and
differentiated education; including learners with special educational needs and disabilities. Education should also provide the
learner with opportunities for shared responsibility and accountability through community service learning.
6. Promote respect for and development of Kenyas rich and varied cultures
Education should instill in the learner appreciation of Kenyas rich and diverse cultural heritage. The learner should value own and
respect other peoples culture as well as embrace positive cultural practices in a dynamic society.
7. Promote international consciousness and foster positive attitudes towards other nations
Kenya is part of the interdependent network of diverse peoples and nations. Education should empower the learner to respect,
appreciate and participate in the opportunities within the international community. Education should also enable the learner to
operate within the international community with full knowledge of the obligations, responsibilities, rights and benefits that this
membership entails.

PREAMBLE
This syllabus has been adapted to suit the needs of a learner with physical impairments. Learners with physical impairments are
heterogeneous in terms of the type and degree of disability which calls for consideration of their inter and /or intra individual differences.
The adaptation targets learners with:
Neurological impairments such as; cerebral palsy, spinal injuries, spina bifida, epilepsy.
Muscular-skeletal impairments such as; Muscular Dystrophy, Amputation, poliomyelitis, Oteogenesis imperfect condition.
Other health impairments such as; asthma, sickle-cell anemia and multiple disabilities.
Unlike learners without disabilities, learners with physical impairment experience motor difficulties that affect their posture, balance,
Speech, ability to move, sit, write and manipulate learning materials. Therefore, adaptations have been made to enable the learner access
curriculum for meaningful learning.
These learners require special services, training, equipment, materials, tools and facilities to achieve their educational and life. In
addition, they will require assistance in the learning process especially in the practical oriented activities. The suggested physical
assistance, relevant adaptations and more time will be required in actual learning experiences and in examinations where applicable and
should be individualized. Physical assistance may include performing an activity with the learners instructions, manipulation of various
learning equipment, tools materials, and facilitating mobility, grasping, and stabilizing the learners body or parts of the body. Relevant
adaptations means making of resources usable to the learner, for example, adapting drawing and writing equipment, page turners and
head pointers for easier use. It also means changing the environment to suit the needs of the learner such as provision of modified tables
and chairs, spacious classroom for easy of mobility, particularly for those on wheelchairs, provision of ramps for easier access to rooms
and fitting of wide doors to allow for entry wheel chair users and those with mobility difficulties
This curriculum is intended for use in special and inclusive schools. The suggested activities in this adapted curriculum are intended to
guide the teacher. The adaptation focuses on: Specific learning outcomes, suggested learning experiences, suggested community service,
suggested resources, time, suggested learning resources and suggested assessment.
The instructions should be adapted to facilitate effective performance and masterly of the intended skill. Learners with physical
impairment being a diverse group, the teacher will be expected to ensure that specialized assessment is done on each learner in every
class before deciding on the desired skill and competence levels to be achieved.
Learners with conditions such brittle bones, muscular dystrophy, heart conditions, spinal cord injuries among others could be exempted
from certain activities such as gymnastics. The teacher is however expected to come up with appropriate and relevant activities for such
learners when teaching the whole class.
x
Environmental Activities
Essence Statement
Environmental activities area in pre-primary entails the study of the relationship between man and his environment. It comprises; the
local natural environment and its care, social relationships, health practices and safety. This provides opportunities for the learner to
explore, experiment and interact with the immediate environment. This enables the learner to acquire skills to; enjoy learning, promote
good health, safety, environmental conservation and appreciate rich cultural diversity.
