THE IDEA

The first Ever
Center of gifted education to promote an alternative of early quality childhood education
Mission Statement
The first kindergarten:
To offer exceptional quality of education
To offer top-talent personnel in a top quality educational environment and a high quality relationship with parents (parenting, consulting)
To discover, to promote and to develop the natural abilities and potential of children through gifted education methodologies
To support children to be authentically happy
To support parents to live as fulfilled balanced human beings

An exceptional project
A unique project to answer a high social demand for an early childhood education of excellence
Gifted Education is proved to have high results with all categories of children
Gifted Education is Early Quality Childhood Education. Research proves that every child at 3 years old is gifted: with high abilities of attention, concentration, creativity, intelligence, motivation, capacity to learn, humor and sense of right
Furthermore, research shows that intelligence and creativity forms 95-98% at early ages (10 to 12 years old)
Quality Day Care, Early, Is Tied to Achievements as an Adult
Early quality education can develop the intelligence and creativity of children : The Abecedarian project in the US proves this result (1999). More evidence: Jeff Bezos – A mazon , Larry Page – G oogle , Sergey Brin – G oogle credit Montessori education for their succes ( G oing to a Montessori school is where they learned to be self-directed and self-starters. They said that Montessori education allowed them to learn to think for themselves and gave them freedom to pursue their own interests )

Invest in gifted children, invest in the values of society, invest in our national future!
“ No nation, no society can allow herslef to neglect gifted
children and youth with highest potential of her people.
The most talented are the nation’s wealth.”
Klaus Urban Prof. Dr., ex president of World Council for Gifted and Talented Children
"Gifted education respects and promotes the divine nature of the
human being and not a merchandised human being, the human
being for consumption. We promote the human being who is a
creator, the human being capable to develop her potentials . "
- Florian Colceag, president, IRSCA Gifted Education .

Gifted Children:
Have special needs
They waste
Most of the them are underachivers (50% according to research)
Get cornered in the society
They risk alienation and grow to become antisocial
And they are a Nation’s WEALTH!!!!!!!!!!?

International Recommendations
“ I heard about plans to establish a kindergarten
for gifted children and take this opportunity to
strongly support this promising endeavour, which
not only gives necessary developmental input to
the individual children, but is a big step forward to
a gifted education, dealing with differentiation in
heterogeneity, from which finally all children and
lastly the society will get profit….
Dr Klaus Urban, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Institut für Sonderpädagogik, past president, World Council for Gifted and Talented – most important gifted education international organization

International Laws Supporting the education of gifted children
RECOMMENDATION 1248 (1994) of the
Council of Europe, Parliamentary Assembly states:
“ Gifted children should be able to benefit from appropriate educational conditions that would allow them to develop fully their abilities, for their own benefit and for the benefit of society as a whole. No country can indeed afford to waste talents and it would be a waste of human resources not to identify in good time any intellectual or other potentialities. Adequate tools are needed for this purpose”
” The ordinary school system should be made flexible enough to enable the needs of high performers or talented students to be met”
Gifted Education Kindergarten Council of Europe , Reply from the Committee of Ministers In 2003, the Committee of Ministers stated in two official replies (September and December) that: Gifted children form a category of persons with special needs; they face “certain specific problems in the regular education system for ordinary children” [1] and because of that, they require proper provision within a different education system. If proper care is not taken, on one hand, “the high potential of these children for creativity is lost, and on the other hand, there is the risk of alienation, drop-out and antisocial behaviour” [2] .

World Conferences on Inclusive Education
Salamanca World Conference on Special Needs Education, 1994:
“… Schools should accommodate all children regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic or other conditions. This should include disabled and gifted children, street and working children, children from remote or nomadic populations, children from linguistic, ethnic or cultural minorities and children from other disadvantaged or marginalised areas or groups.”
Dakar World Education Forum, 2000:
“ ... Education systems must be inclusive, actively seeking out children who are not enrolled, and responding flexibly to the circumstances and needs of all learners...”

Romanian Law 17/2007 on the education of gifted and talented
Art.3 - According to the Human Rights Charter, Lisbon case, the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Child, Recommendation 1248/1994 of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, students with special needs, among whom gifted students can be mentioned, shall be provided with an adequate educational environment which allows them to fully exploit their potential for their own, as well as for the society’s benefit.
Art.4 - In accordance with the regulations of Law of Education no.84/1995 and Government Emergency Ordinance no. 36/1997, this law is intended to promote and guarantee the right to differentiated education , setting a legal and technical-logistic framework for professional elites in all fields, through:
a) Differentiated education as a set of formal, non-formal and informal educational programs adapted for the development of the gifted students population segment characterized by special needs;
b) Education of gifted and talented students in public or private specialized centers through specialized classes, week-end schools, training camps, summers schools, distance education programs, and other methods ;
c) The differentiated curriculum as method of adapting the objectives, contents, educational and teaching strategies, study, evaluation, special capabilities, to the ability capacity, the level of cognitive, emotional and motric capacities, to the learning style and rhythm of the gifted students;
d) Public-private partnerships between public institutions and organizations with competence in the field of gifted and talented students’ education.

An innovative approach in education

Gifted education is Leading in High Quality Education
Best education practices from all over the world
Core concept: “nature and nurture” = education according to the each individual’s developmental & learning needs and learning style
The education of excellence deals with discovering, promoting and developing the natural potential of all categories of people
A form of mass education with specific gifted education programs
Unique value versus other differentiated education establishments (Waldorf, Montessori): gifted education involves the latest research and best practices in the education for human intelligence and creativity at a worldwide level , which develops dinamically on the coordinates of time, the societal needs or human needs.
Open to all ends, with no discrimination on age, sex, race, culture, social status, material status, geographic area or any other criteria

Early quality education is proved to develop the intelligence and creativity of children
Gifted Education is proved to have high results with all categories of individuals - research proves that every child when 3 years old is gifted on all areas of attention, concetration, creativity, intelligence, motivation, capacity to learn, to have humor and the sense of right
Research also shows that intelligence and creativity forms 95-98% at early ages (10 to 12 years old)
Quality Day Care, Early, Is Tied to Achievements as an Adult
Early quality education can develop the intelligence and creativity of children : The Abecedarian project in the US proves this result (1999). More evidence: Jeff Bezos – A mazon , Larry Page – G oogle , Sergey Brin – G oogle credit Montessori education for their succes ( G oing to a Montessori school is where they learned to be self-directed and self-starters. They said that Montessori education allowed them to learn to think for themselves and gave them freedom to pursue their own interests )

Gifted education Aims at:
Creating a harmonious environment for the development of
Multi-intelligence (see Howard Gartner)
Human creativity and
Self-realization
Upbringing and educating individuals for the application of their creative potential
Supporting the continuity of strong family ties
Reinforcing the social moral foundations in order to protect and restore the human and nature bondage

Why gifted education?
The gifted education program is an international program to cover specific education programs on all levels, from a kindergarten up to a post-phD level
North Americans initiated the gifted program in 1984 by intimately correlating it with regional development objectives: the program is able to form highly competent and motivated human resources with superior intellectual and moral abilities
A program oriented towards intellectual endowment and human emancipation

Where can we find gifted education establishments?
Basically, all over the world.
Serbia, Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, Finland, China, Australia, The USA, Canada, Turkey, etc
Dunham Academy (UK), Belin-Blank International Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development (US), Carnegie Mellon Institute for Talented Elementary Students ( US ) , Center for Talent Development (US), public schools in China, the Netherlands, especially Finland.
In the US A and in Australia in every state or county, stressing on identifying them and providing specific training for their intellectual profile
Gifted education programs have reached and have been implemented in the majority of schools in the world.

Gifted education in the World
Worldwide organizations : WCGTC - World Council for Gifted and Talented Children, The Asia-Pacific Federation of the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children
2. Continental organizations : Europe - ECHA- European Council for High Ability
Regional centers: NAGC- National Association for Gifted Children, the US; NAGTY - National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth, UK;
Centers of Excellence, magnet schools, charter centers as well as pilot centers to implement new learning technologies, universities and collaborative networks, colleges, schools and kindergartens as well as specialized departments at the levels of ministries of education and governments of numerous countries around the world

Gifted education in the World
Recently, during the past 10 years, Turkey, the Arabian Emirates, Oman, the Republic of South Africa, Brunei and other countries have started developing the system, an aspect positively correlated with their political and economic stability, as well. Such centers are currently being developed in other countries in the Middle East, Africa, South America, which have not been integrated in the first spreading wave. Europe is almost completely integrated in the system.
A significant example in the former communist block is the center headed by Shi Jiannong from The Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences that dedicat es its activity to the psychological research of gifted children, who are also trained in special programs.

The set-up plan
