EARLY YEARS ยท HANOI
We support schools, teachers, and families to understand and apply research-based methodologies in the early years — nature-based, child-centred, and grounded in everyday practice.
The Grounded Project supports schools, teachers, and families to understand and apply research-based methodologies in the classroom and beyond — focusing on the holistic development of children in the early years.
Through teacher training, consulting with schools, and parent and community workshops, we work to uplift practice across Asia toward international standards, while honouring diverse cultures and perspectives.
Outdoor, natural spaces — like our garden laboratory — where children explore real materials and the rhythms of the natural world.
Children are free to explore, problem-solve, and make meaning on their own terms, with adults responding to their lead.
Grounded in Reggio Emilia philosophy and current research, translated into practical, everyday approaches.
We help raise happy, capable, adaptable children — while giving the adults around them clarity and confidence.
Lasting change happens through grassroots shifts in mindset — one practitioner, one community at a time. We work alongside schools and families in a few connected ways.
Workshops and ongoing mentoring that help educators move from theory to confident, everyday practice in their own classrooms.
We partner with schools to review current practice and build realistic, context-appropriate plans for child-responsive environments.
Practical sessions that help parents understand how young children learn, and how to support that learning at home.
Community-level training that honours local culture and context while connecting practice to international standards.
Our Garden Laboratory is nature-based, child-centred, and respectful — a place where children are free to explore, problem-solve, and make meaning on their own terms.
At the heart of it, we want to help raise happy, capable, and adaptable children, while giving the adults around them the clarity and confidence to support their full potential.
