dc.description.abstractHuman development has four dimensions, namely, socio-emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual development. The services CCIs provide tend to directly emphasize on the physical, cognitive, and spiritual development, at the expense of the socio-emotional needs which are often not directly met. This study therefore sought to assess the services offered to enhance socio-emotional development of children at Amazing Grace Children’s Home, New Life Home Trust, and Reed of Hope Children Centre in Nakuru County. The study investigated the types of services offered which were geared towards socio-emotional development, the level of awareness of the caregivers on the services and establish the type(s) of facilities enhancing socio-emotional development. Qualitative and quantitative approaches of research were used. Data was collected through questionnaires, observation checklists and interviews. The population of the research was drawn from Amazing Grace Children’s Home, New Life Home Trust and Reed of Hope Children Centre. This study involved 20 adult workers and 69 children. The data was analysed using descriptive data analysis and descriptive statistics. The research is resourceful for CCIs in strategizing on offering improved services enhancing socio-emotional development and resourceful to policy makers in guiding their planning and provision of services to vulnerable children. It was found that 65% of the respondents offered play and immediate discipline. The study recommends established routine schedule for the children and emphasizes collaborative communication between children and caregivers at the CCIs.en_US
