On 26 July 2025, Kinderland Vietnam celebrated a remarkable milestone with its annual Graduation Concert & Moving-Up Celebration, held at Hong Bang International University.  Themed “Scale New Heights – The Lion King Story,” this year’s event is the first to have all four Kinderland centres across Vietnam united in one ceremony as a family.  Over 150 families and 500 attendees created an unforgettable atmosphere filled with delight and pride.

The occasion began with a heartwarming graduation parade, where our Kindergarten Two (K2) children proudly marched onto the stage to thunderous applause. Kinderland valedictorians delivered heartfelt speeches in both English and Vietnamese, underscoring the mastery of bilingualism fostered at Kinderland.

Our valedictorians addressed the audience confidently in English and Vietnamese

This symbolic moment was followed by their impressive Stage Ensemble Performance, trained and guided by Yamaha Music instructors. The children played a variety of instruments, including keyboards, xylophone, cymbals, castanets, and triangles. Participation in ensemble music enhances children’s coordination, listening skills, confidence, and ability to work collaboratively – all essential foundations for lifelong learning.

Kindergarten Two children of Kinderland International Preschool @ Vista Verde and Kinderland International Preschool @ Tan Dinh performed March of the Little Bears.

The celebration continued with joyful performances from our younger learners, ranging from Pre-Nursery (PN2) to Kindergarten One (Kl) both in English and Vietnamese. Each song and dance reflected their growth, creativity, and enthusiasm, turning the stage into a vibrant and magical space that echoed the spirit of The Lion King.

Pre-Nursery Two children from Kinderland International Preschool @ Le Thi Rieng and Kinderland International Preschool @ Tan Dinh lit up the stage with their adorable presence in the performance of the song Con Sư Tử Con.

Pre-Nursery Two children from Kinderland International Preschool @ Tran Nao swayed sweetly in harmony with The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

Kinderland International Preschool @ Vista Verde presented a special performance featuring gymnastic moves to the stampede. This performance was supported by JACPA Vietnam; JACPA is Japan’s largest physical education provider for preschoolers.

Kindergarten One children from Kinderland International Preschool @ Vista Verde showcased their impressive JACPA gymnastic skills, demonstrating their determination, discipline and teamwork.

The children’s performances embodied the six Cs of a Kinderland child—Curious, Creative, Capable, Confident, Caring, and Communicative. These qualities reflect the values instilled in each child throughout their preschool years at Kinderland.

Parents of Hoàng Lâm (Bun), a Kinderland International Preschool @ Vista Verde graduate, expressed heartfelt gratitude and pride after the event, thanking the teachers for their dedication in nurturing Bun from Nursery through to Kindergarten Two.

This event was more than just a graduation – it was a heart-warming celebration of family togetherness, the joy of learning, and the bright future awaiting our young Kinderland graduates. As we continue to scale new heights together, we are deeply grateful to our families, partners, and educators who made this journey so meaningful.
