About us
Where Every Child is Planted in Love and Grown with Purpose.
Upendo Where Little Hearts Grow
Upendo was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that the bridge between home and school should be paved with love. We recognized that parents today aren’t just looking for a safe place for their children to stay—they are looking for a partner in their child’s developmental journey.
“Upendo” is the Swahili word for Love, and it sits at the heart of everything we do. From the way we sing our morning choruses to the specialized care in our therapy sessions, we ensure that every child feels seen, heard, and cherished.
Founder & Head of School
At Upendo Daycare, love is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing space where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to grow. We are honored to be part of your child’s early journey.
Your child’s safety, happiness, and growth are our highest priorities every single day.
Holistic Wellness
We care for the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—including specialized grooming services to keep them feeling their best.
Love as a Foundation
We create a "home away from home" where emotional security is the first priority.
Connection to Nature
Through planting and outdoor play, we teach our students to respect and wonder at the world around them.
School Readiness
Our "Play-Learning" philosophy ensures that when your child leaves Upendo for primary school, they are academically, socially, and emotionally prepared.
