Early Years
“When parents and educators share a deeper understanding of a child’s growth, learning becomes more meaningful and connected.”
Laying the Strongest Foundations: Teaching Strategies GOLD at UNIS Hanoi
Our Early Years programme now uses GOLD®, a world-leading assessment system designed to support the whole child’s growth—socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically.
Teaching Strategies GOLD® is a research-based, whole-child assessment system used in leading early childhood programmes around the world. It allows educators to deeply understand each child’s development across multiple domains—including language, social-emotional learning, literacy, numeracy, and physical coordination.

Based on observational insights, not testing
Supports play-based and inquiry-led learning
Aligns with developmental milestones from birth to age 5
BENEFITS OF MULTI-AGE APPROACH
Our 3-4 year old multi-age classrooms are what make our Early Years setting so unique and has numerous benefits:
- Allows children to interact and learn how to get along with peers of varying ages.
- Provides opportunities for developing social skills and building confidence.
- Empowers our four year olds to learn compassion, patience, and problem solving skills as they interact and assist younger children.
- Encourages our three year olds to push themselves and be able to participate in more complex activities with their older peers.
- Enables all children to develop and grow at their own pace in order to blossom and create their own learning journey in their own time, whilst also being challenged and stimulated by their teachers, peers and their learning environment.
