Child care for children under three in Viet Nam includes many models and names. NIMO does not rank facilities or verify licensing for authorities. This guide helps families check documents, observe adult-child interaction, and ask about normal days and incidents.
Key takeaways
- 01
Legal name, address, and person in charge
- 02
A visit while the facility is operating
- 03
Staffing and cover arrangements
1. Check what can be verified
Ask for the facility's legal name, managing body, accepted ages, and documents parents may view. Record the address, hours, person in charge, and complaint or incident contact. Do not use a social post as the only source.
2. Observe how adults respond to children
During a visit, watch how staff use children's names, comfort crying, support meals, and move between activities. Ask who covers staff absence and how children are supervised during sleep, toileting, and outdoor play. A beautiful room cannot answer these questions.
3. Ask about communication, illness, and incidents
Ask how meals, sleep, nappies or toileting, and mood are reported. Ask when family is called, who may collect the child, how medicines are handled, and which medical facility is used. Read terms for absence, refunds, cameras, and image use before long-term payment.
Practical checklist
- Legal name, address, and person in charge
- A visit while the facility is operating
- Staffing and cover arrangements
- Sleep, meal, hygiene, and collection procedures
- Family contact and incident procedure
- Contract, fees, and image policy reviewed
