level of education in the national education system and is the level of education that lays the foundation for the formation and development of human personality Among the goals of preschool education, the goal of developing life skills appropriate to the child's age is one of the important goals Like other activities of preschool children, life skills education activities contribute to comprehensive education for children, helping them to have the ability to react flexibly and sensitively in all situations and circumstances In Vietnam, in the 2009-2010 school year, for the first time, the content of life skills education (social skills) for preschool children was integrated into other educational contents in the preschool education program issued by the Ministry of Education and Training together with the Circular No 17/2009/TT-BGDDT dated 25/07/2009 By the most recent revision, the preschool education program issued together with Circular No 01/VBHNBGDDT dated April 13, 2021 considers that the top task when educating preschool children is physical development; whereas for preschool children, the development of emotional - social skills, or in other words, the formation of children's moral standards, basic life skills have been made a top priority task It can be seen that the value of life skills education has been recognized and has an important position

countries, studies have comprehensively generalized the theories of life skills including the concept, classification and meaning of life skills At the same time, it is pointed out that the way to classify life skills is not fixed and flexible This creates a diversity in the selection of life skills education content to suit each educational object in specific areas Most of the studies on life skills in Vietnam are approached from a psychological perspective, which have inherited the results obtained from research on life skills in the world and systematized and generalized the theoretical system about life skills 1.1.2 Studies on life skills education and life skills education for preschool children With the indispensable role of life skills in human life, life skills education becomes urgent and becomes an indispensable content in education programs of many countries Studies on life skills education for learners in schools provide rich theories and practical experiences about this educational activity However, these studies just focus on studying life skills education as a small part of preschool education in general and studying the current situation of life skills education in preschools in specific areas, without having studied in depth the theory of life skills education for preschool children in particular 20 preschool in Ho Chi Minh City to have effective management measures so that the content of life skills education for preschool children is carried out more often 2.3.4 Current situation of life skills education for preschool children in private preschools in

at private preschools in Ho Chi Minh City, in which, factors inside the school have the greatest influence Therefore, when proposing measures to manage life skills education activities for preschool children in private preschools in Ho Chi Minh City, it is necessary to pay attention to the influence of these factors.
