Kindergarten at Hoi An International School | Less is more
The recent floods in Central Vietnam remind us of something truly important: we don’t need much to show love, to care for others, or to make a difference. Sometimes, less really is more.
This idea is part of our everyday life in Early Years (Kindergarten), and during this Christmas season, it has become even more meaningful.
In our Kindergarten classrooms, the children created their own Christmas decorations, little stars, ornaments, and colourful pieces made with their own hands. They proudly hung them on the tree and around the room, discovering that the most beautiful things are often the ones we make ourselves.
Our children are also learning to play with each other, not just with toys. They invent games, share ideas and learn how to cooperate. With recycled materials, they even made their own toys and little robots, proving that imagination is one of the best toys of all.
This year, they also joined the Shine & Share project, learning what it means to help others, especially those affected by the floods. Even in small ways, they are learning how kindness travels far.
At HAIS, we teach our Kindergarten students more than knowledge and life skills. We teach our children to love nature, to respect the Earth, to use less and cherish more and to spread warmth wherev

At HAIS, we teach our Kindergarten students more than knowledge and life skills. We teach our children to love nature, to respect the Earth, to use less and cherish more and to spread warmth wherever they go. We want them to grow up knowing that even the smallest hands can bring big comfort to someone in need.
Through simple moments – making, sharing, helping, imagining – our Kindergarten students are learning what truly matters.
