Our School

Ms Brenna comes to us from the UK. She has been teaching for over 25 years with her most recent experience being at EtonHouse in Singapore. As she began to learn more about the Reggio Emilia Approach to learning, she began to realize the importance of the “Image of the Child”. This enduring idea is what drives her work with the children as she acknowledges that they are all capable and competent, no matter their age and that by following the child’s own interests, she can provide stimulating opportunities for them to deepen their learning. She strongly believes that in Early Childhood, children learn best through hands-on and first-hand experiences. As a teacher, she demonstrates her love of learning to the children and encourage them to take developmentally appropriate risks and to ask questions. She likes the children in her class to be curious about their learning environments and strongly advocate the use of the outdoor environment to enhance each child’s experiences. It is crucial that we provide a nurturing and supportive learning environment and introduce the idea that school and learning is fun!

Ms. Laura is originally from Germany where she graduated with a diploma in Early Childhood Education and spent almost 10 years working as a class teacher, leader and principal.

“In April 2022 I became part of a team where the Reggio-inspired philosophical approach is truly embraced.

For me, as a teacher, it’s important to be open-minded, creative and empathic to the child’s need to go at their own pace as they discover the world around them. Allowing this to happen means that the children, co-teachers and teachers work together and we become co-learners and make new discoveries side by side. “

For this to happen she likes to create a motivating and welcoming environment for the children and takes the time to observe during their day to support them in their individual learning journey. She believes that children learn the best as they’re guided by their own interest and curiosity.

Ms. Laura is a naturally social and open person, who likes to meet new people, travel, try new food and learn about different cultures. In daily life she likes to explore alongside the children and to support them in building their own understanding of the world.

Ms. Riana hails from the small coastal town of Plettenberg Bay, in South Africa and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education.  She arrived in Ho Chi Minh City in 2018 and has taught in public as well as international schools.

She is passionate about young learners and finds working with them extremely rewarding. She has fallen in love with the Reggio Emilia Approach to teaching and learning since first being introduced. She believes in play-based learning, which stimulates curiosity, leads to exploration, stimulation, and creativity, and opens up a new world for the child. She attests to children learning to be confident, independent, capable, and competent because they are complete and can take risks with great care.  She believes in the child-led approach, with the best teacher being the environment; she will be the facilitator by guiding, supporting, and encouraging children, and she always learns alongside them. Ms. Riana will always be the children’s biggest cheerleader as she inspires, protects and nurtures them, whatever their interests.  Through exercising the “100 languages of the child”, children strengthen their powers, contribute to their communities, and build relationships by having a voice and being heard. Ms. Riana encourages creative thinking, being open-minded, and having a positive attitude.

Ms. Laura is from the UK and has 4 years experience as an Early Years Teacher with a Post Graduate certificate in Early Years Teaching.
