who only see play as recreation and not very important activity in the development

academic performance in Kimulot Location.
The study was a descriptive survey conducted in King Jesus Junior School. The ECDE
centre had 150 children, 1 head teacher and 4 ECDE teachers were sampled by
lottery random sampling. The data was edited and analyzed using descriptive
statistical tools such as frequencies and percentages. The findings of this study
