For School Leaders

Understanding Child-Centred Practice

“Involve me and I will learn”

A Workshop for Early Years Educators

Vietnam's new 2025 ECE Curriculum Framework (Circular 19/2025/TT-BGDĐT) marks a fundamental shift — away from rigid, teacher-led instruction and toward learning environments that honour children's agency, curiosity, and developmental pace.

This workshop gives early years educators the conceptual tools and practical strategies to make that shift with confidence — in their own classrooms, with their own children.

What child-centred practice actually looks like — and how it differs from traditional early years approaches

How the 2025 Curriculum Framework changes expectations for educators — and how TGP's approach already aligns

Observation and documentation as professional tools — seeing children's learning and making it visible

The educator's mindset shift — from delivering content to following children's lead

Practical classroom strategies you can begin using the very next day

Why now? Vietnam's Ministry of Education & Training released a new ECE Curriculum Framework in 2025 (Circular 19/2025/TT-BGDĐT), significantly updating expectations for early childhood educators — increasing emphasis on child-centred, play-based, and inquiry-driven approaches. This workshop is designed to help you confidently navigate that shift.

More ways to work with us

Beyond our open workshop, The Grounded Project offers tailored programmes for schools, families, and communities.

For educators

Teacher training

Hands-on professional development that helps educators move from theory into confident, everyday practice. Sessions cover play-based learning, observation and documentation, and responsive approaches grounded in Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy, with ongoing mentoring so new ideas take root in real classrooms.

Individual teacher PD

Play matters!

A Professional Development Series for Early Years Teachers

Play is how young children make sense of the world — and it's often the first thing to be pushed aside under pressure to “teach”. This four-part series gives individual educators the confidence and practical tools to protect, extend, and make visible the learning that happens through play.

1.

Why play matters — how play drives later learning success, and how to facilitate and support child-led play

2.

Observing play and following children's interests — building play invitations, extensions, and respectful, child-centred conversational prompts

3.

A hands-on session in our playspace or your own classroom — setting up play invitations that reflect children's interests, drive engagement and wellbeing, and make learning visible

4.

Reflection and next steps — what's working, what isn't, and how to bring parents into the conversation about play, with a take-home handout

Four weekend sessions · 2 hours each · Delivered in both English and Vietnamese · Certificate of completion provided

For schools

School consulting

We work alongside school leadership teams to review current practice, environments, and policies, then build realistic, context-appropriate plans for child-responsive learning — honouring each school's culture, resources, and community.

For families

Parent workshops

Practical, down-to-earth sessions that help parents understand how young children learn through play, and how to support curiosity, independence, and emotional development at home — in ways that fit real family life.

Parent workshop

Do screens affect your child's brain?

A Workshop for Parents & Caregivers

Screens are part of nearly every family's daily life — but their effect on young, developing brains isn't always well understood. This two-hour workshop gives parents and caregivers a clear, judgement-free look at how screens shape early development, and practical strategies to build a strong foundation for managing screen time now and as your child grows.

1.

What your child is watching, and when — understanding content and timing, and how both shape early brain development

2.

Screens and family life — navigating the impact on family relationships, discipline, and speech acquisition

3.

Alternatives to screens — positive co-viewing, building a family media plan, and telling helpful apps from harmful ones
