This article examines the current state of preschool management in Ho Chi Minh City according to quality accreditation requirements. Early childhood education is the first level in the national education system and plays a crucial role in the holistic development of children. This study surveys various aspects of preschool management, including organization, management, facilities, teaching staff, and the relationship between schools, families, and communities, in meeting national education quality accreditation standards. The research uses a quantitative approach, with a survey conducted among 550 participants, including educational managers, teachers, staff, and parents. The survey results indicate that preschools have made significant progress in areas such as developing strategic plans, optimizing resources, and improving educational quality. However, challenges remain, including issues of transparency in sharing development plans, limited parental and community involvement, and inconsistencies in implementing the preschool education program across schools.
