Not only is it the first level in the education system, preschool is also the foundation for forming a childs personality, habits and initial thinking. Therefore, training a team of teachers and pedagogical lecturers has become an urgent task to meet the development requirements of the times. In fact, preschool pedagogical lecturers work in a specific field, where the training program integrates many different areas of knowledge, so this team is often recruited from many sources with diverse expertise. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi Lam, Head of the Department of Early Childhood Education, Hanoi University of Education, that diversity makes the need for training teaching staff very diverse. In reality, there are currently three main groups of lecturers with their own difficulties. The first group is lecturers from basic sciences, with solid but limited background knowledge in preschool pedagogy. The second group are lecturers trained in the field of preschool education, have in-depth expertise but lack basic scientific knowledge, affecting the teaching of methodological subjects. The third group are lecturers outside of pedagogy (such as arts), who both lack pedagogical skills and have difficulty accessing preschool education expertise. From that reality, the Faculty of Early Childhood Education has built a training program consisting of 15 modules to serve as a framework for long-term professional development activities. Each year, the faculty organizes two seminars on updating professional knowledge and one seminar on scientific research skills, helping lecturers balance the two important tasks of teaching and research.

Third, invest adequately in scientific research, form strong research groups with international publications, and create conditions for lecturers to exchange and learn at home and abroad. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi Lam, improving the capacity of lecturers not only helps improve the quality of preschool teacher training, but also contributes to affirming the position of Vietnamese preschool education science in the context of integration.
