Abstract: The domains of learning have been categorized as cognitive domain (knowledge), psychomotor domain (skills) and affective domain (attitudes). This categorization is best explained by the Taxonomy of Learning Domains formulated by Benjamin Bloom in 1956. The purpose of the study was to establish the extent to which the three domains of learning considered in assessing children in public early childhood education centres in Kenya. The study targeted early child development education (ECDE) teachers in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. A self-administered questionnaire was administered to collect information from the respondents. A sample size of 341 respondents was used for analysis representing a response rate of 94.6%. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented using tables and charts. The study findings established that the preschool teachers were aware of the three domains of learning. However, majority of them were unable to state a specific learning domain, suggesting that preschool teachers in Uasin-Gishu County governments may not be fully familiar with learning domains. Hence a continuous training and constant evaluation of ECDE teachers should be done on a regular basis using the three domains of learning.
