Kidzone

Preschool in Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, TP.HCM, Vietnam

Kidzone is a preschool in Thảo Điền, Ho Chi Minh City, at 40/11 (Hẻm 35) Nguyễn Văn Hưởng. It serves children from 6 to 72 months, with information on the site presented for families looking for different age ranges and study pathways. The school describes itself as a pioneering bilingual preschool applying the HighScope model from the United States, with a focus on respecting each child’s individuality and nurturing independence so children can develop in a well-rounded way. The tone of the school, as reflected in its materials, is child-centred and supportive, with an emphasis on active learning from an early age.

Academically, Kidzone uses HighScope across its Basic, bilingual, and international pathways. The source explains that the approach is built around the Plan-Do-Review cycle, where children plan what they want to do, carry it out, and then reflect on the result. Teachers observe, prompt, and accompany children rather than doing tasks for them. English is woven into daily activities rather than treated only as an academic subject, and the school says children are encouraged to use English naturally throughout the HighScope cycle. The site also notes that 70 percent of English learning time is with foreign teachers, including teachers from the Philippines and native-speaking teachers who hold TESOL/CELTA qualifications. Vietnamese and English are the languages listed for the school.

Daily life at Kidzone is structured to give children active, purposeful experiences. The source describes a morning routine that includes warm greetings, putting away bags and shoes, breakfast, outdoor movement, sand play, and caring for the vegetable garden. There is also a circle time with songs, conversation about the day’s theme, and juice before the next activity. The campus page for Thảo Điền highlights an open space overlooking the Saigon River, natural play corners, a garden, and a natural sand playground. The wider school information also mentions that Kidzone has three campuses and that the facilities are designed according to HighScope, with locations intended to be convenient for families in Ho Chi Minh City.

What stands out most about Kidzone is the combination of HighScope, bilingual learning, and a strong emphasis on children learning to think and act independently. The school presents itself as a place where children are encouraged to make choices, try things for themselves, and revisit what they have done with their classmates. That makes it a good fit for families looking for a preschool that values initiative, natural language exposure, and a calm, hands-on learning environment. Families who want either Basic, bilingual, or international pathways may find the school’s flexible structure especially relevant.
