Teaching methods and curriculum

The curriculum is synthesized harmoniously from the Reggio Emilia philosophy, project-based teaching methods, and the rich traditional culture of the Vietnamese people. Therefore, children are comprehensively developed in 8 types of intelligences by integrating the most advanced and scientific teaching methods from around the world.

  • The Reggio Emilia philosophy


    The Reggio Emilia philosophy stems from the belief that every child possesses immense potential, and this potential will be nurtured through their inherent curiosity and strong adaptability. Children strive to understand the world around them and independently formulate their own ways to explain the dynamics of their surroundings. They are encouraged and provided with the conditions to solve problems on their own and express their own ideas and emotions. The learning environment is designed to exhibit flexibility and a high degree of artistic creativity. Loris Malaguzzi shared, "Our task is to kindle the creative spark in young children to scale the highest pinnacles they possibly can using their own legs. No one can do more than that."
  • Project-based teaching method


  • Learning English through reflexive methods


    Science demonstrates that language development thrives when children learn in a natural communicative environment and engage with genuine emotions. That's why at Little Saigon Kindergarten, children learn English just as they learn to speak Vietnamese. Throughout the day's activities, such as group time and outdoor play, children will have the opportunity to interact with native-speaking teachers who hold TESOL certificates – an international certification in teaching foreign languages. These teachers are well-versed in pedagogical methods and understand how to effectively engage and interact with children.
