The Center for Early Childhood Education
At MonKi Montessori School in the heart of Hanoi, we see childhood as a time of wonder, discovery, and endless possibility. Our vision is simple: to create a joyful, safe, and enriching environment where children can explore freely, learn deeply, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals.
Montessori education has been trusted for over a century worldwide and now, at MonKi, we bring this proven approach to life in a way that’s warm, welcoming, and culturally connected to families in Vietnam.

Our Educational Programs
At MonKi, we offer a range of thoughtfully designed programs rooted in Montessori philosophy and enriched by a bilingual (Vietnamese–English) environment. Each program is tailored to meet the unique developmental needs of children at every stage—supporting their growth in independence, confidence, and love of learning.
Every day, our classrooms are filled with the gentle hum of purposeful activity toddlers pouring water with care, preschoolers solving math puzzles, friends reading together on a rug, and teachers quietly guiding in the background. It’s not just learning, it’s the foundation for a lifetime of success.

We Create a Nurturing
Environment for Each Child
Through open-ended, play-based experiences, children flourish — growing in confidence, creativity, and curiosity. At MonKi, they come to love their school, taking pride in being part of a warm, respectful community where they truly belong.
Why Choose MonKi
01. More than a school - a place where children thrive
Choosing a kindergarten is a big decision. At MonKi, we offer more than just education — we offer a meaningful beginning to your child’s lifelong learning journey.
02. Authentic Montessori Approach
We follow the proven Montessori method, creating an environment where children learn naturally through curiosity, independence, and hands-on exploration — not memorisation.
03. Bilingual Learning, Naturally
Our Vietnamese–English bilingual environment helps children become confident communicators in both languages through daily immersion, not pressure.
04. Warm, Respectful Relationships
We see each child as capable and unique. Our learning guides build trust-based relationships that nurture emotional well-being and personal growth.
05. Experienced & Passionate Team
Our guides are professionally trained in Montessori education and united by a shared mission: to inspire, support, and grow alongside your child.
06. A Community That Cares
MonKi is more than a school — it’s a home away from home. We foster strong connections between children, families, and educators, creating a true sense of belonging.
07. Play-Based, Purposeful Learning
We balance structure with freedom. Through open-ended play and real-life experiences, children discover the joy of learning — and the confidence to keep going.
At MonKi, your children are not just prepared for school — they’re prepared for life.
- Wholesome meals, healthy habits
Healthy Food for Growing Children
At MonKi, we believe that children need more than just food — they need nourishment that supports both body and mind.
Our meals are carefully selected, balanced, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients to fuel children’s growth, energy, and learning.
But mealtime is more than just nutrition — it’s a part of our education. Through family-style meals, children learn to:
– Serve themselves and others with care and confidence
– Balance their own plates, making mindful food choices
– Appreciate the value of sharing, conversation, and community
This daily experience helps children build independence, social skills, and a positive relationship with food — all while enjoying the company of friends.
Because at MonKi, every moment is a chance to learn — even at the table.

Our Story
MonKi was born from a shared dream: to give children a space where learning feels natural, joyful, and inspiring. We wanted to move beyond rigid classrooms and rote memorisation—to create a place where curiosity leads the way and every child feels respected for who they truly are.
Inspired by the revolutionary philosophy of Maria Montessori, since 2012 we brought our experience in growing schools and developing educational programs in Vietnam. With this expertise, we carefully crafted MonKi to reflect high global Montessori standards, while staying deeply rooted in the warmth and richness of Vietnamese culture.
Our name, MonKi, captures the essence of our bilingual Montessori environment—a place where children find their own path on a journey filled with both wonder and wisdom.
From the moment we opened our doors, MonKi is more than just a school. It is a community—for both local and international families—where children, parents, and teachers grow together.
