Kinder Academy has dedicated a significant portion, 2/3 of its campus, to lush green playgrounds and gardens. Weekly gardening activities allow children to cultivate their own vegetables, fostering a sense of ownership and connection to nature. Providing engaging activities and spaces that instill respect for the environment is a cornerstone of our approach to enriching children’s experiences.
International-mindedness plays a pivotal role in the holistic development of young learners, educators, and parents alike. It involves cultivating a perspective and awareness that appreciates the interconnectedness, diversity, and interdependence of our global community. Embracing international-mindedness entails fostering empathy, respect, and cultural competence, and instilling a sense of global citizenship.
We provide children with opportunities for diverse communication through drawing, dramatic play, gestures, music, and verbal expression, placing them at the forefront of their educational journey. Our art projects and activities aim to offer open-ended experiences and foster development through process-focused art.
Early exposure to science aids in children’s cognitive growth. Our STEM program for preschoolers promotes skill development, evidence-based learning, and exploration of the world around them.
At Kinder Academy, we transform everyday experiences into exciting learning adventures. We believe learning should be as thrilling as a playground full of surprises! By integrating STEAM into daily activities, we encourage curiosity and allow children to explore, create, and discover freely.
Children learn that:
In our bilingual program, we celebrate the richness of Vietnamese language and culture. Our curriculum adheres to the Vietnamese Education Department Standards, ensuring that young learners build a strong foundation in their heritage language.
At Kinder Academy, we provide a nurturing environment where English is the primary language of instruction in both our curricula. For young learners whose first language is not English, we offer dedicated ESL support to help them feel confident and comfortable throughout their learning journey.
Kinder Academy embraces a personalized approach to early childhood education, understanding that each child is unique and learns at their own pace. We focus on nurturing individual talents and fostering a love of learning through tailored experiences that meet every child’s strengths and needs.
Our approach is based on key principles:
Our educational philosophy centers on inquiry-based learning, encouraging children to explore and investigate the world around them. This approach fosters independent thinking and problem-solving. At Kinder Academy, we integrate this learning method with music, movement, swimming, and physical education to create a comprehensive and engaging experience. We believe in making learning fun and tailored to each child’s needs.
