Dreams vs. Reality: The Gap for Aspiring Kindergarten Founders
Many who dream of opening a kindergarten often envision personally caring for and teaching children, spreading love. However, to turn this dream into reality, you need to be prepared to face numerous challenges:
1. Understanding the Child’s Mind “Like Your Own Child”
Early childhood education is a unique field, demanding educators to possess love, patience, and an understanding of child psychology. Additionally, you need to continuously learn and update your knowledge and advanced educational methods to meet the increasingly high demands of parents.
Do you know Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, principal of Hoa Mai Kindergarten, once shared: “Working in early childhood education is like being a daughter-in-law to a hundred families; each child is a unique personality, requiring teachers to be truly understanding and skillful.”
2. Overcoming Legal Hurdles
To open a kindergarten, you need to fully comply with legal regulations regarding facilities, educational programs, teaching staff, etc. Understanding and completing legal procedures is also a significant challenge for beginners. To better understand these regulations, you can refer to our guide to opening a kindergarten.
3. Building a “Standard” Kindergarten
Facilities are a top priority when opening a kindergarten. You need to invest in building spacious, clean, and beautiful classrooms, ensuring children’s safety and meeting all standards of the Ministry of Education. Furthermore, equipping the school with adequate equipment, learning materials, and age-appropriate toys is also essential.
4. Building a Team of “Good Teachers, Excellent Students”
The teaching staff is the soul of a kindergarten. To attract and retain talented teachers, you need to build a professional, friendly working environment with attractive benefits.
“A good teacher is someone who inspires and ignites a love for learning in children,” commented Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Thi Lan Anh, author of the book “Child Psychology.”
