The study was carried in Waberi Zone, Garissa District. The study benefits the early childhood pupils since their well being is advocated for in the study. The study also forms a basis for future researchers who may research on a related topic and equip the researcher with knowledge about Free Primary Education in Kenya. Parents will benefit from the study in a way that they will understand the importance of early childhood education and understand that it is the basis for future education.
