Abstract: This study investigated effect of teachers’ characteristic on child friendly school initiative in public pre-schools in Mombasa County, Kenya. The study was premised on descriptive research design. A sample of 145 that included 29 head teachers and 116 teachers were drawn from a stratified target population of 97 public pre-primary schools using purposive and simple random sampling technique. Questionnaire and observation guides were the instruments adapted to collect data. The responses were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings concluded that there is a statistical difference between schools with effective teacher characteristics and child friendly school initiatives. The study also concluded that teachers’ age and gender do not influence child friendly initiative. The study recommend that the Ministry of education and County government should motivate the pre-school teachers to improve by improving their performances with provision of work environment, increased remunerations and other privileges as compared to their professional in other levels of learning.
