The importance of Pre-school Education includes development of mental functions of children in areas such as language, motor skills, psychosocial, cognitive and learning.

Simple random sampling, stratified and purposive sampling technique were used in choosing the sample size in Eldoret East Sub-County, Kenya. The data of the study was collected using questionnaires and checklist. The obtained data was analyzed using thematic approach, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Simple linear regression. The findings indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between learning resourcesand pupil enrolment level this implies that with every unit increase in physical infrastructure there is increase in the enrolment level. It is recommends that the ministry of education should establish community related factors and psychosocial factorsacross the pre-school education sector.
