Good early childhood care and education has long lasting positive effects on children development .Between the ages of 0-5 is a time when children expand their horizons. This is an exciting time for this group as they open their world to wider friendship, experiences and a test of new ideas .at this age learning happens everywhere every time. This is also the age when children get the resilience to successfully transition to formal school. Successful transitions enable children to adapt to new settings where they quickly grasp teaching and learning methods, the processes, rules and regulations, which will enhance their performance in school.

The transition from preschool to primary school therefore, sets the tone and direction in a child’s school career.  At this critical point in the education trajectory determines success or failure. The child who transits smoothly is set on a more positive route than the child who experiences a negative transition. The passage at this significant juncture, and how the situation is negotiated, may have a lasting influence on how children view themselves, how others value them, their sense of well-being and their ability to learn. While transition is a component of education success, retention is also an important aspect especially for special need children and children from vulnerable settings. Clearly investment in retention strategies allow children to rise above situation such as poverty, lack of food, sanitary facilities, disease, poor health and excel in school systems.

Unfortunately, 68.3% of Kenyan children majority living in urban slums are not having these experiences. Their cognitive and social emotional milestones are not being meet .our experience with this children is that they enter and finish formal school systems unable to read, write or add-up. Their time at school leaves them no better prepared for life than when they first arrive as toddlers.
