Victoria Preschool

Preschool in Ho Chi Minh City, HCMC, Vietnam

Victoria Preschool is a preschool system in Ho Chi Minh City, with its address listed at 29 Sử Hy Nhan, Phường Cát Lái. It serves children from 1 to 6 years old, across Hippo Class, Elephant Class, Lion Class, Dragon Class, and Dinosaur Class. The school describes itself as a leading preschool system in the city, guided by the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy. Its overall atmosphere is rooted in the belief that even before reading, writing, or maths, children are already observing, asking questions, loving, and creating in their own ways. The school also says it aims to nurture confident children who are independent thinkers and who care about the community around them.

Academically, Victoria Preschool follows Reggio Emilia and describes learning as child-led rather than based on a fixed script. Children are invited to choose topics they want to explore, and learning is organised around long-term projects that grow from their interests and questions. The school also highlights creative expression, describing children as communicating in many ways, including through drawing, movement, sound, clay, and other forms of expression. The source states that the environment is designed as a "third teacher," with each classroom, corner, and material arranged to encourage curiosity and exploration. The school also notes a student to teacher ratio of about 1 teacher for every 4 to 6 children, depending on age. Vietnamese and English are listed as the languages used.

In daily life, the school presents itself as a place where children are encouraged to try, make mistakes, revise, and tell their stories in many different ways. The source mentions that the school publishes a daily schedule, a school year calendar, a nutrition menu, and information about educational quality assessment, though it does not provide all the details in the excerpt. It also invites families to register for a visit. The school’s materials suggest a careful and intentional environment, but the excerpt does not give further information about facilities, outdoor spaces, or specific extracurricular activities.

What makes Victoria Preschool distinctive is its clear commitment to Reggio Emilia as a philosophy rather than a preset method. The school says this approach is adapted to the Vietnamese context, with children growing in a setting that combines exploratory learning with warmth, connection, and Vietnamese manners. It may be a good fit for families looking for a preschool that values creativity, independent thinking, and close adult attention. The emphasis on observation, questions, and project-based learning will likely appeal to parents who want a child to be listened to and encouraged to learn through experience.
