Sakura Kindergarten, a member of the Sakura - Olympia School System, is a nurturing environment for children aged 18 months to 5 years, where character is carefully cultivated from the earliest stages of development. By adopting the Japanese educational philosophy, the school places a strong emphasis on building core values such as independence, discipline, responsibility, and compassion.

At the same time, children are immersed in English through daily interaction with native-speaking teachers, allowing them to acquire bilingual proficiency in both English and Vietnamese in a natural, engaging way—while continuing to develop a deep appreciation for the Vietnamese language and culture.

The Sakura - Olympia Bilingual Kindergarten Curriculum

At Sakura, children grow not only in body but also in spirit. We believe that every small step in a child’s early journey should be deeply rooted in enduring values, empowering them to step confidently into the larger world that awaits them.

1. Learning Environment

Our spacious, well-ventilated campus is thoughtfully designed to be child-friendly and nature-integrated, encouraging exploration and discovery in an environment closely connected to the natural world.

A bilingual, multicultural setting with diverse English-language activities offers children daily opportunities to practice and develop natural English reflexes through authentic communication.

2. Teachers

At Sakura Kindergarten, our teachers possess a deep understanding of early childhood psychology. They are dedicated to supporting each child’s development with gentleness and care.

The team undergoes regular training with Japanese early childhood education experts to ensure our educational practices consistently foster strong moral character and personal growth in every student.

Book-sharing activities with friends, as well as reading time with parents at home, further enhance children’s reading experiences.

4. Nutritious and Safe Meal Program

A diverse and balanced menu is prepared using 100% clean food from An Phu Farm, ensuring optimal health and nutrition for every child. The school also provides specialized meal plans for students with food allergies.

All food ingredients are subject to strict quality control upon delivery. Our industrial kitchen follows a one-way food processing system that complies with all food hygiene and safety standards.

The kitchen staff are experienced and thoroughly trained in food hygiene and safety protocols. They always wear clean and tidy uniforms, use face masks, and change gloves after each stage of food preparation. Regular health checks are conducted to ensure staff well-being and hygiene compliance.

The school does not store frozen food. All leftover food is disposed of transparently and completely—no reuse is permitted.

During mealtimes, students are also educated on self-service skills, the importance of respecting food and understanding the nutritional value of each meal.
