VinKC brings together “all-in-one” activities for children, from the time they are babies until they grow up.

We plan to launch the first VinKC at Vincom Mega Mall Times City, then Vincom Center B in Ho Chi Minh City. Thereafter, this model will be replicated in major cities across the country such as Da Nang, Quy Nhon, Can Tho, Quang Ninh, and Hai Phong. Local families and children will finally have the opportunity to access high-quality products and services with decent educational value.”
