For adults, International Women's Day (March 8) is often a time to give flowers and gifts. For preschoolers, however, it is something entirely different—a special day to make bracelets with their mothers, draw portraits of their grandmothers, hug their teachers, and simply say, "I love you," without needing any special reason.
On March 8, 2026, the Apexschool Preschool System held a series of International Women's Day activities across all campuses, creating a joyful celebration filled with love, family bonding, and unforgettable moments that parents will treasure for years to come.
More Than a School Day – A Celebration of Family
What made Apexschool's International Women's Day celebration truly special was the participation of parents.
Instead of simply waiting to pick up their children after class, parents were invited to join the activities—playing, creating crafts, laughing together, and sometimes even sharing emotional moments with their children.
Simple activities such as coloring a picture together or carefully threading beads to make a bracelet became meaningful opportunities for parents to better understand their children's personalities. They could see whether their child was patient or energetic, detail-oriented or spontaneous—things that no textbook can teach, but can only be discovered by spending quality time together.
This reflects one of Apexschool's core values: not only educating children, but also partnering with families throughout every stage of a child's growth.
International Women's Day Activities That Filled the Children with Joy
The program was thoughtfully designed with a variety of age-appropriate activities, ensuring that every child could participate and enjoy the celebration in their own way.
Handmade Bracelets for Mothers, Grandmothers, and Teachers
This was undoubtedly one of the children's favorite activities of the day.
Tiny hands carefully selected colorful beads, threaded them one by one, and tied delicate ribbons to create handmade bracelets for the people they love most.
The gifts themselves were simple, but their true value came from the love and effort each child put into making them.
When a child proudly looked up and presented a handmade bracelet to their mother, it became an emotional moment that brought tears to many parents' eyes.
Drawing "The Woman I Love"
Every drawing told its own unique story.
Some children drew their mothers with long hair and bright smiles. Others chose to draw their grandmothers in traditional áo dài. Some proudly illustrated their teachers standing among their classmates.
The drawings were far from perfect—but those innocent lines and colorful sketches were the most sincere expressions of the children's love.
Interactive Family Games
Joyful laughter echoed throughout the school as parents and children participated together in exciting interactive games.
For a while, there was no separation between "school time" and "family time." Everyone became part of the same warm, energetic, and joyful celebration.
A Photo Corner for Precious Family Memories
Beautifully decorated with flowers, vibrant colors, and heartfelt International Women's Day messages, the photo corner quickly became a favorite spot for both children and parents.
Every photograph captured there represented more than a memory of a single day—it became a lasting reminder of a meaningful moment shared together as a family.
Learning About Love Through Experience, Not Through Lessons
One of the most thoughtful aspects of Apexschool's International Women's Day program was the way emotional education was naturally integrated into every activity.
There were no formal lessons explaining the meaning of International Women's Day.
Instead, children learned through experience.
By creating a handmade gift for their mothers, they discovered—naturally and sincerely—that love is expressed through actions, not just words.
Experiences like these help children develop empathy, appreciate the people around them, and learn to express gratitude and affection from an early age. These are essential foundations of Emotional Intelligence (EQ), a quality widely recognized by early childhood education experts as vital for lifelong development.
Small Moments That Last a Lifetime
Childhood is not measured by the number of years—it is measured by the memories that stay in our hearts.
A handmade bracelet, a drawing of Mom with bright, smiling eyes, or a family photo taken in front of the flower-filled International Women's Day backdrop may seem like small things today.
Yet these precious moments become treasured memories that both parents and children will carry with them for many years.
At Apexschool, we believe this is what a truly meaningful preschool education should provide—not only knowledge, but also beautiful memories that nurture a child's heart for a lifetime.
Apexschool – Growing Together with Families Through Every Milestone
The International Women's Day celebration is just one of many meaningful events organized throughout the school year at Apexschool.
Each activity is thoughtfully designed with a clear purpose: to provide experiences that support children's intellectual, emotional, and social development within a safe, caring environment where families are always part of the journey.
If you are looking for a preschool that does more than teach academic skills—one that walks alongside your family through every important milestone of your child's growth—Apexschool warmly welcomes you to create meaningful childhood memories together.
