About Playlearn Academy Centre
A private, mixed day school in Kariobangi South, Nairobi—nurturing confident learners from Pre-School (Playgroup – PP2) to Grade 9 with over 25 years of trusted community service.
Our Story
Since 1999, Playlearn Academy Centre has been a cornerstone of the Kariobangi South community—serving families with a warm, structured, and child-focused education. What began as a simple vision to offer accessible, high-quality learning close to home has grown into a trusted school where children are known, guided, and celebrated.
Today, we proudly support learners across key stages of basic education: Pre-School (Playgroup – PP2), Lower Primary (Grade 1 – 3), Upper Primary (Grade 4 – 6), and Junior Secondary (Grade 7 – 9). Through the years, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to helping every child build strong foundations in learning, character, and confidence.
