“Teach children when they are young.” This proverb deeply resonates with those of us working in early childhood education, like myself. A thoughtful and well-organized monthly plan is the key to unlocking a month of effective learning and joyful play for children. So, how do we create a truly quality “kindergarten monthly plan”? Let’s explore it together!
The Importance of Monthly Plans
Monthly plans act as a “compass” guiding all activities of a kindergarten. They help organize time and resources effectively, ensuring educational activities are implemented consistently and efficiently. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a leading early childhood education expert in Vietnam, also emphasized in her book “Raising Dreams”: “Monthly plans are the foundation for the comprehensive development of children.”
I vividly remember the story of Minh, a rather shy boy. Thanks to the monthly plan with diverse extracurricular activities, Minh gradually became more confident and sociable. From a “timid” boy, Minh boldly participated in arts and cultural activities and interacted with his friends. Seeing their child’s positive changes, Minh’s parents were moved to tears of joy.
Building a Monthly Plan: How to “Cook” it “Deliciously”?
An effective monthly plan needs to be based on the kindergarten education program of the Ministry of Education and Training, combined with the characteristics and needs of children in the local area. The plan should include learning activities, play, life skills training, and the organization of events and festivals…
Key Factors to Consider
- Flexibility: The plan needs to be flexible and easily adjusted to suit the actual situation. “Go with the flow” is also something to keep in mind when developing a plan.
- Age-appropriateness: “Bend the tree when it is young.” Activities should be suitable for each age group and children’s abilities.
- Parental involvement: Parents are also an important link in implementing the monthly plan. Coordination between the school and family will help children develop more comprehensively.

Vietnamese people traditionally value customs and holidays.
