Nairobi Montessori School Holiday Camp
Nairobi Montessori School runs day camps on its Ngong Road campus in Karen during every school break, for children from 15 months to 12 years old. The half-day programme runs 8am to 1pm and the full day extends to 4pm, following the same structured, hands-on Montessori approach as the school's regular term. It's a familiar, well-supervised option for the age range it covers, especially for families already close to Karen.
Good to know: Confirm current availability and whether a spot is open to non-enrolled children before booking — places can be limited.
How to join
- 1Check Nairobi Montessori School's holiday-camp page for the current school-break dates on the Ngong Road campus in Karen.
- 2Ask whether the intake is open to children not already enrolled at the school. Places can be limited.
- 3Pick half day (8am–1pm) or full day (extends to 4pm). It runs weekdays through the holiday.
- 4It covers 15 months to 12 years. Say the age at booking so they place them in the right room.

- 6Drop off at the Karen campus and use the same pickup window they give you — this is a school site, not a drop-in play centre.
