Establishing Private Preschools: Licensing Standards Under Decree 125/2024/ND-CP

Mandatory spatial quotas established under the new framework:

• Campus Land Footprint: Minimum 12 m2 per child in rural/delta regions; minimum 8 m2 per child in high-density metropolitan and municipal jurisdictions.
• Classroom Spatial Standards: Activity rooms must provide 1.5 - 1.8 m2/child; sleeping dormitories 1.2 - 1.5 m2/child; self-contained sanitary blocks 0.4 - 0.6 m2/child.
• Outdoor Discovery Grounds: Shaded green zones with grass landscaping and certified TCVN recreational equipment, occupying no less than 40% of the total campus area.

Two distinct regulatory hurdles investors must successfully clear:

• Phase 1: Institutional Establishment License (District People's Committee): Submitting development proposals verifying alignment with local school grid planning and capital escrow proof.
• Phase 2: Educational Operation Permit (District Head of Education): Conducted post-construction, verifying certified fire safety clearances, food kitchen hygiene certificates, and qualified teacher contracts.

Streamlining accreditation compliance for new preschool projects:

• Digital Governance Portfolios: EYC supplies standardized organizational ledgers, curriculum frameworks, and health logs ready for Ministry inspection review.
• Instant Cohort and Staff Architecture: Onboard teachers, configure classroom capacities, and assign administrative privileges within 30 minutes.
• Initial Capital and Asset Governance: Seamless tracking of preschool classroom inventories matching mandatory MOET educational toy rosters.
