Kindergartens
Every card says why to go, what to know before you do, and what catches people out.
Xuan Huong
An international kindergarten with primary classes, run on the Montessori method with full English immersion. A child who attended a Montessori setting before the move lands in a familiar format: free work with materials rather than lessons by the bell.
Lam Vien
A preschool running the Canadian Maple Bear programme with two kinds of group: bilingual (English and Vietnamese) and fully English. Full immersion is not widely available in Da Lat, so having the choice between the two formats is unusual here.
5–5.8M₫
$190–220
per month · approx.
A bilingual preschool and school for ages one to six, running the American FasTrack English programme with the emphasis on speaking and reasoning rather than memorisation. Mid-range by Da Lat standards.
Xuan Huong
7–11M₫
$265–420
per month · approx.
Ages 18 months to 5 years. The most expensive preschool in Da Lat and the closest thing to an international-style early-years setting.
Xuan Huong, the Golf Valley estate
A boutique-format private kindergarten: small groups, classes in English and Vietnamese, its own enclosed playground and craft rooms. It sits inside the Golf Valley villa compound, where there is no through traffic — walks do not happen along a highway.
~5M₫
~$190
per month · approx.
Ages 15 months to 5 years, with an explicit Montessori programme rather than the label used loosely. Bilingual.
