Gifted Education Kindergarten
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
Gifted Education Kindergarten
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 – Amazon, Larry Page – Google, Sergey Brin – Google credit Montessori education for their succes (Going 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 Kindergarten
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 humanbeing 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 Education Kindergarten
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!!!!!!!!!!?
Gifted Education Kindergarten
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 theRECOMMENDATION 1248 (1994) of theCouncil of Europe, Parliamentary Assembly states: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”
Council of EuropeCouncil of Europe, Reply from the Committee of Ministers, Reply from the Committee of MinistersIn 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].

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:Dakar World Education Forum, 2000:

An innovative approach in education
Gifted Education Kindergarten
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

(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
