Inclusive Education for Children with Special Needs in Nairobi

Holmeside Care was born from a vision to address the gaps in special needs education in Kenya. In a country where over 10% of children live with disabilities, access to specialized schooling remains limited. Founded in 2010, our school serves students from ages 3 to 18, offering tailored programs that foster academic growth, life skills, and emotional well-being. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 5:1, we ensure personalized attention in a supportive environment. Over the years, we've grown from a small day center to a full-fledged boarding and day school, incorporating Kenyan cultural elements like Kiswahili language integration and community outreach programs.
