Hai Dang Xanh Preschool announces enrollment information for the preschool class of the 2025-2026 school year

  • The standard number of children in a nursery class is smaller than in a kindergarten class. Specifically, nursery classes have 20-25 children per class, while kindergarten classes have 25-30 children per class.
  • The nursery curriculum also requires continuous exploration, creativity, and innovation because nursery children have limited attention spans and need to be enthusiastic during lessons (learning through play, playing through learning).
  • The care requirements for nursery children are more extensive than for kindergarten children because their self-care abilities are still developing and require meticulous and detailed assistance and guidance to gradually form self-care skills before reaching kindergarten age.

A typical school day for children includes five meals: breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and afternoon snack. Dividing meals into smaller portions makes it easier for children to absorb nutrients in appropriate amounts, and also helps them feel interested and happy during mealtimes. Mealtimes will be less stressful and pressure-filled, and children will look forward to them. For more details, parents can refer to the Nutrition Plan at Hai Dang Xanh Preschool.

At Hai Dang Xanh Kindergarten, there is a program where registered children can visit the school premises for 3-5 afternoons (4:30 PM – 5:00 PM) before officially starting school, allowing them to get acquainted with the school, teachers, and classmates.

First, the school would like to assure parents that STEAM is not a teaching method, but rather an educational philosophy/orientation, a new approach to education in which Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics are also used to teach and guide students. All educational methods, including STEAM education in general and preschool STEAM education in particular, stem from a child-centered teaching approach, meaning children learn according to their needs to explore and discover the world around them, and the teacher only plays the role of a guide, directing them to find the right knowledge.

One of the fundamental principles of STEAM education is the application of knowledge to practice. Therefore, STEAM differs from other forms of learning in that it does not place too much emphasis on theory and prioritizes practical application. A large portion of STEAM lessons are dedicated to experiments, research, and creation. Furthermore, subjects within the STEAM curriculum are often integrated into the teaching process, helping children to understand the knowledge comprehensively and correctly.

STEAM education and other educational methods offer many practical benefits for the holistic development of children. Each method provides its own effectiveness.

The benefits of STEAM-oriented education include:

  • Children learn more knowledge in the same amount of time in class. A STEAM-oriented project integrates many different subjects, so the amount of knowledge children learn through each project is also greater.
    Children understand the lessons clearly and remember them for a long time. When knowledge is related to real-world situations, children absorb information more naturally and easily.
    Children have the opportunity to develop skills such as critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and design thinking. They cultivate essential soft skills such as teamwork, project management, and time management. The lively and engaging STEAM lessons make children excited about class time and find learning more enjoyable.
  • Applying STEAM education early and correctly will optimally support children’s development in primary and secondary school, shaping their personality, thinking habits, and problem-solving skills later in life. Understanding the importance and benefits of STEAM education, Hai Dang Xanh Preschool has applied STEAM education from the preschool level, aiming to contribute to building a comprehensive system of knowledge and skills for children in higher levels of education.

Based on the psychological and physiological characteristics of children at each age, and especially their ability to absorb lessons, their needs for play, learning, and daily activities vary. Therefore, to ensure that the amount of lessons, games, daily routines, and care are appropriate to the children’s needs, Hai Dang Xanh Preschool divides classes by age group as follows:

Nursery class includes 2 age groups:

  • 18 – 24 months/class
  • 24 – 36 months/class

Kindergarten class includes 3 age groups:

  • 3 – 4 years/class
  • 4 – 5 years/class
  • 5 – 6 years/class

For preschool-aged children, the project is implemented in three basic steps: Project initiation, project implementation, and project closure. During the exploration process, children plan, execute, and manage their own experiential activities; the teacher’s role is only to guide and support them. At this stage, the child is the central figure, and with the teacher’s help, they independently solve a complex learning task, both theoretically and practically. Through this, they create their own products and can present them to others. This enhances their self-reliance and active participation in activities; it encourages and develops creativity, responsibility, teamwork skills, and especially the ability to think critically and solve complex problems.

This is an engineering design process that allows children to create simple devices such as gadgets, toys, or learning tools according to their needs and desires, under the guidance and support of teachers and classmates. It helps children solve problems in their lives.

This learning model helps children focus on the learning process, be proactive and collaborative, and provides challenges appropriate to their age and ability to explore and discover. It encourages them to surpass themselves and persevere.
