Why Saigon Kids?

Established in 1996, we offer a beautiful outdoor space, a supportive team, and a philosophy that empowers children to learn through play and exploration. Our curriculum is child-led, inquiry-based, and deeply rooted in respect for each child’s voice. We have a strong family orientated atmosphere and a beautiful outdoor area. We have an excellent existing team that works well together creating an extremely friendly working environment. The philosophy, curriculum and teaching practices are inspired primarily by the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. The curriculum emerges primarily from children’s interests and questions, and is driven by their natural curiosity to learn through play. We believe that the physical and social environments are powerful contexts for learning, and that children learn best when empowered to make choices, contribute their ideas, and learn in collaboration with others.
