SmartKids International Kindergarten Str10 - Kindergarten in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

SmartKids was truly the right choice for our children. The warm atmosphere at the school, the one-on-one communication the teachers build with each child, and their positive approach really make a difference. Thanks to Ms. Yoko and the team

After comparing different schools we chose Smartkids because we loved the personal connection, the vison of this school as well as high level of English throughout the different staff. We brought our daughter to SmartKids starting with their toddler program, and it's been such a joy watching her grow. When she turned eighteen months, we moved her to the kiddies 5 mornings a week. The teachers are so passionate and care about our daughter, we can see it in how they engage with her and how excited our daughter is to go to school! Through the different activities — even simple tasks — she's learning so much. She's picking up English naturally, and we love seeing how stimulated and engaged she is. As parents, we feel confident knowing she's in such caring hands. We absolutely love SmartKids and would recommend them to any parent who wants their child to learn and grow!

We have just joined the SmartKids community, and our first impression has been very positive. Mrs Yoko stood out from our very first visit. She is a true early years education expert and is clearly passionate about it. She welcomed us warmly, advised us with real depth and honesty, took our questions seriously, and responded thoughtfully. What impressed us most is the settling-in program: the school works out a gradual, day-by-day plan together with the parents, adjusting the pace as the child gets comfortable. The team has been patient and attentive throughout, and stays in close communication with us. Highly recommended for families looking for a school that takes the time to understand each child — especially if it's your little one's very first school experience.

Smart Kids is truly the best learning environment for children. Before joining Smart Kids, my son struggled to enjoy going to school and often felt anxious in the mornings. Since joining Smart Kids, he has completely changed. Now he happily runs up the stairs every morning without even looking back. Seeing him so happy and excited to go to school every day has brought us so much joy as parents. The teachers always accept him for who he is and continuously help him build confidence. What impressed us the most was how much he actually speaks English throughout the day. Rather than teaching in a rigid “study” style, the school creates constant communication naturally through daily life and play, and his English skills improved beyond our expectations in such a short time. Every morning, new activities and creative play spaces are beautifully prepared for the children. They are the kind of things that make even parents feel excited just looking at them. You can really feel how much thought, care, and love the teachers put into creating such an environment for the children. The teachers also pay close attention to even the smallest changes in him and truly care about each child individually. As a parent who is not confident in English myself, I was also deeply supported by the principal, Miss Yoko, and his homeroom teacher, Miss Shelley. They always listened to me sincerely and kindly, which meant a great deal to our family. We were only able to attend Smart Kids for one year, but honestly, we wish we could have spent much more time there. For any parents searching for a kindergarten, I can wholeheartedly say that Smart Kids is one of the best choices you could make.

SmartKids has been an outstanding first school for our son. The teachers and leadership know him as an individual, and this has enabled him to grow in his skills, knowledge of the world, and his confidence. It is a genuinely international environment, while being wholly respectful of Vietnam. Our son has learned how to be sociable and part of a group. He loves his teachers and friends, and he enjoys going to school everyday. We are leaving to return to the UK and SmartKids is one of the things that we will miss most about Vietnam.
