      abstract = {Education has been endeared as one of the key pillars that will drive Kenya into achieving it dream, Vision 2030. Foundational learning is the very basic level of education to any successful human resource development in any successful country. This implies that for a clear take off, investment in the formative years of learning for our children is fundamental. To ensure that this early opportunity in learning is seized, language skills are key. The interaction between parenting styles and language acquisition in early childhood education settings have not adequately been addressed, especially in the local context. Understanding how these environments complement or conflict with parenting practices could enhance the findings. The study therefore sought to establish the effect of authoritative parenting style on acquisition of language skills among pre-school children in Central division, Trans Nzoia County. The study provided insights into how different parenting styles impact the development of language skills in early childhood. The study was anchored on Ecological Systems Theory. The target population was the pre-primary learners and their Pre-school two Parents and Pre-primary Children a total of 384. A sample of 195 respondents was selected through the Yamane (1967) sample determination formula. The findings revealed that authoritative parenting style was a significant positive predictor of language acquisition. The study concluded that authoritative parenting style affects language acquisition skills in Central Division, Trans Nzoia County, Kenya. The recommends that since authoritative parenting balances warmth and structure, promoting these methods can improve children's language development. The programs should focus on effective communication techniques and positive reinforcement strategies. Integrate parenting style awareness into early childhood development policies and curricula. Teachers and caregivers should be trained to support parents in adopting authoritative practices. Schools and early education centres play a critical role in shaping children's environments. By incorporating family engagement programs that promote authoritative practices, the broader community can support optimal language acquisition outcomes.},
