Tiny Totos Kenya aims to develop a cost-effective and replicable business intervention programme designed to set achievable market standards of service delivery for private slum-based daycares. Through the provision of basic equipment to address safety and learning needs, through training of daycare staff in early childhood education, first aid and business management skills, and by working with parents and local authorities, we pursue a multi-faceted and a collective effort to set standards of daycares in slums. Our approach focuses on businesses and entrepreneurs to avoid dependency. We expect core running costs to remain the responsibility of the daycare managers. We motivate entrepreneurs to engage in a business self-improvement programme and adopt regulatory systems with the opportunity to improve their businesses and earn more money.
