Parents are surely eagerly anticipating the new school year for their little ones. This anticipation is also the motivation for early childhood educators like myself to dedicate our hearts to creating a thoughtful preschool education plan. Just like nurturing a seedling, the knowledge and skills cultivated in the early years will be a solid foundation for a child’s future. Let’s explore together how a preschool education plan is developed!
From the sweltering days of summer, the teachers and staff at our preschool have already begun working on the new school year’s education plan. This task requires meticulousness, carefulness, and a loving heart for the profession and children. Because every activity, every lesson is designed by us to provide children with a fun, enriching, and comprehensive learning environment.
The Significance of a Preschool Education Plan
Some have likened the preschool education plan to a “compass” for the teaching and learning activities of a preschool. Indeed, a well-structured plan will help to:
- Provide Clear Direction: Define goals, content, and teaching methods suitable for the psychology of preschoolers and adhere to the preschool education program of the Ministry of Education and Training.
- Enhance Educational Quality: Create a foundation for the school to organize educational activities in a synchronized and scientific manner, thereby improving the effectiveness of childcare and education.
- Promote Proactivity and Creativity: Encourage teachers to flexibly apply and be creative in the implementation of the plan, meeting the learning and developmental needs of each child.

To help parents understand better, I would like to share some basic contents commonly found in a preschool’s annual education plan:
1. Educational Goals
- Physical Development: Develop basic motor skills, healthy exercise habits, helping children become healthy and flexible.
- Cognitive Development: Stimulate curiosity, helping children explore the world around them through fun activities and experiences.

Some Notes When Developing a Preschool Education Plan
- Adhere to Reality: It is necessary to base the plan on the specific conditions of the school, locality, and characteristics of the children to build a feasible and effective plan.
- Feasibility: The goals, content, and organizational forms need to be appropriate to the capacity of teachers and the actual conditions of the school.
- Ensure Flexibility: There needs to be flexibility in the implementation process, adjusting the plan to suit the actual situation.
The Role of Parents
Close cooperation between family and school plays a very important role in the implementation of the annual education plan. Parents can:
- Regularly communicate with teachers about their child’s learning and activities.
- Create conditions for children to participate in school and class activities.
- Review lessons, study, and practice skills learned at school with their children.
Conclusion
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, Principal of Hoa Sen Preschool, once shared: “Each child is a flower with its own beauty. Our mission is to create the best conditions for these flowers to bloom.” And the annual education plan is the important “nutrient” that helps this “flower garden” become increasingly radiant.
