A child’s education does not take place only inside the classroom. Experiences at home, within the community, and throughout everyday life also play an important role in shaping children’s skills, emotional development, thinking, and ability to connect with the world around them.
With this shared vision, IVY Preschool has officially become KYN House’s first development partner, marking the beginning of a collaboration aimed at creating educational, cultural, and community spaces where different generations can learn, share, and grow together.
On October 8, 2026, IVY Preschool hosted the introduction of the KYN House model and the partnership signing ceremony between the two organizations.
More than a partnership milestone, the event reflected a shared educational direction: extending learning beyond the classroom and creating more opportunities for children, parents, grandparents, and the wider community to engage with one another through meaningful learning experiences.
KYN House – A Space Where Generations Learn Together
Developed around the philosophy “Learn together, grow closer,” KYN House is envisioned as a community-based learning space located close to residential areas, making educational and cultural activities more accessible to families.
Rather than focusing on a single age group, the KYN House model encourages meaningful interaction across generations.
For children, it provides opportunities to explore, create, interact, and learn through age-appropriate experiential activities.
For parents, it creates a space to access new knowledge, exchange parenting experiences, and take a more active role in their children’s development.
For grandparents and older adults, it offers opportunities to participate in cultural and learning activities while sharing their experiences, knowledge, and values with younger generations.
By bringing children, parents, and grandparents into a shared learning environment, education becomes more than a school-based activity. It becomes part of everyday family and community life.
IVY Preschool – KYN House’s First Development Partner
Becoming KYN House’s first development partner represents an important milestone in IVY Preschool’s broader educational vision.
Alongside providing a safe, nurturing, and experience-rich preschool environment, IVY Preschool seeks to expand children’s learning ecosystem by strengthening the connection between school, family, and community.
The partnership creates a foundation for IVY Preschool and KYN House to explore and develop initiatives such as:
- Educational and experiential activities for children.
- Parenting workshops and family learning programs.
- Intergenerational activities for children and family members.
- Cultural and learning programs for different age groups.
- Community-based activities organized within or close to residential areas.
Through these initiatives, children can learn not only from teachers, but also from parents, grandparents, the broader community, and real-life experiences.
Extending Education Beyond the Classroom
During the preschool years, children are strongly influenced by the environments and relationships they experience every day.
A high-quality school program provides an essential foundation. However, when families and communities reinforce those values outside the classroom, children benefit from a more consistent and holistic learning environment.
This is where the educational perspectives of IVY Preschool and KYN House come together.
Rather than treating school, family, and community as separate environments, the partnership seeks to connect them into a broader learning ecosystem.
An exploration activity at school can become a conversation between parents and children at home. A parenting workshop can offer families new perspectives on child development. An activity between grandparents and grandchildren can help children understand family relationships, cultural values, and the importance of sharing across generations.
These everyday connections can collectively create a richer environment for children’s holistic development.
Partnership Milestone on October 8, 2026
On October 8, 2026, the introduction of the KYN House model and the partnership signing ceremony took place at IVY Preschool, 18/38A Quach Van Tuan Street, Bay Hien Ward, Ho Chi Minh City.
The event marked the beginning of collaboration between IVY Preschool and KYN House in developing future educational programs, experiential activities, and community initiatives.
As KYN House’s first development partner, IVY Preschool looks forward to creating more opportunities for children to explore, parents to participate, and generations within families to build stronger connections.
Building a Connected Education Ecosystem
IVY Preschool believes that a child’s development becomes richer when supported by the people and environments surrounding them.
Schools provide educational foundations. Families reinforce values in everyday life. Communities expand children’s opportunities to experience the world.
When these three elements work together, education is no longer limited by classroom walls or school hours. Instead, learning becomes a continuous part of life.
The partnership between IVY Preschool and KYN House therefore represents more than a series of individual programs. It marks the beginning of a shared journey toward building a community where generations can learn, share, connect, and grow together.
