Teach at Saigon Kids Early Learning Centre in Vietnam

Saigon Kids: A Legacy of Learning

Established in 1996, Saigon Kids was one of the first international preschools to welcome expatriate children in Ho Chi Minh City. Founded by Ms. Kieu An, the school initially opened in District 3 and was relocated to its current site in District 2 in 2012. This significant move, supported by our entire school community, was a testament to the dedication and hard work of Ms. Kieu An and Early Childhood Teacher Ms. Victoria Cropp, who joined Saigon Kids in February 2009. With extensive teaching experience in Australia and Vietnam, Ms. Victoria now serves as our Educational Director.

To celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2016, we embarked on a dream project: building a beautiful new art studio and cooking lab in the Bamboo Garden of our school. This long-anticipated addition was completed in collaboration with Australian Early Childhood Teacher and Artist Ms. Denise Savins, who joined us as Atelierista in August 2016. Today, the art studio stands as a unique feature of the Saigon Kids Early Learning Centre.

Our Vision

From the beginning, our aim has been to create a small, friendly, and welcoming learning environment where children can thrive under the guidance of professional Early Childhood Teachers. After more than 20 years, we are proud to maintain this foundational vision. As new educational ideas emerge from early childhood research, we continually draw inspiration from the best practices of international education systems, allowing our vision to evolve while remaining true to our core values.

Our Early Childhood Community

The vibrant community at Saigon Kids is made up of children, families, and teachers from diverse cultures and countries. With up to 35 different nationalities represented in some school years, our students learn about diversity, similarities, and differences in a natural and enriching way while engaging with their teachers and friends. While English and play are the primary languages of our school, we actively encourage the sharing of culture, ideas, and knowledge as integral components of our daily experiences.
