Nicolae's interview at the website of Kinderama - their children go to Kinderama Kindergarten
Values-based education: a dialogue with Nicolae of Romania about family and Kinderama
Nicolae of Romania, along with his family, is actively involved in supporting education based on values, dialogue and multicultural openness.
How did you discover Kinderama and what attracted you most to this concept?
I discovered Kinderama because it is close to our home. I was immediately attracted by the multicultural concept, the integration of the German language in a natural way, as well as the warm and open atmosphere that I felt from the first interaction. Also, the fact that Kinderama offers, within the campus, a variety of extracurricular activities was an important criterion in our choice.
What were the first impressions after the first weeks in the Kinderama community?
The first impressions were extremely positive. Maria came home excited and happy, and the adaptation was much easier than we expected. In fact, Maria felt "at home" from the first day, and along the way she developed very well and goes to Kinderama with joy. Mihai needed more time to separate himself from us, the parents, but now he goes with pleasure and we can clearly see that he feels good too, still "at home".
What role do you think the German language and multiculturalism play in children's education?
Maria and Mihai are exposed to three languages: Romanian, German and English. This exposure to multiculturalism gives them a real openness to the world. It's not just about foreign languages, but about flexibility in thinking, tolerance and the ability to understand and respect differences from an early age. Also, the German language, like English, is part of their identity and our family's roots.
