About us
Hi, I’m Kit!
I’ve always been fascinated by the little things that can make a big difference in a child’s world. After more than 10 years working with young children, families and educators, I believe that one of the most powerful things we can give children is a strong, connected relationship with the adults around them. That it is with this foundation where children feel secure, learn to navigate big feelings, and grow into confident, resilient learners.
My background in developmental and social psychology, education and play therapy has shaped how I understand children, their development and the relationships that support them. It continues to frame my philosophy and passion for early childhood. Becoming a mum myself changed how I experienced this work, giving me a much deeper appreciation of just how much there is to navigate as a parent — and how valuable a supportive community can be to the wellbeing of the whole family.
Baby College brings together attachment research, child development, early brain development, responsive caregiving and the power of play, translating this knowledge into practical, joyful ideas that make sense in real family life. Its focus on empowering key adults while offering a balanced developmental program for babies and toddlers is why I love Baby College and what it offers families and their children in their formative years.
Through Baby College Nairobi, Sheil and I are excited to build a community where parents feel supported, understood and empowered, and where children are nurtured holistically in their relationships, development, wellbeing and growing sense of self.
Hi, I’m Sheil!
I’ve spent over 11 years working in early childhood education—as a teacher, support specialist, and school leader—and my greatest motivation has always been to give babies, children, parents, and caregivers the highest quality emotional and developmental support.
My background is in psychology (BSc, University of Port Elizabeth), with further studies in Educational Psychology (BSY Group UK), School Management and Leadership (Harvard Graduate School of Education), and a teaching qualification (PGCEi, University of Nottingham). This blend of academic grounding and hands-on experience has strengthened my belief that the early years are not only important—they’re truly transformative.
As both a professional and a mum, I’ve seen first-hand how limited access to quality support can impact families, especially in those critical first years. That’s why I’m so passionate about using my knowledge and skills to help close that gap—by building supportive networks, strengthening early education systems, and creating programs that meet families where they are.
Baby College deeply resonated with me because it offers exactly that—a strong, evidence-based platform that empowers families and gives every baby and toddler the opportunity to build a secure foundation for life.
Together with Kit, I’m so excited to bring Baby College Nairobi to life—a warm, welcoming space where families can grow, connect, and thrive.
