“Kinderpedia gives me access to absolutely all the key information I need as a leader, to ensure the smooth running and real-time growth of Sayora Maple Bear Primary School Cluj. I’m referring here to all financial and operational flows, academic progress, and real-time communication with the parents in our community. This way, I can follow, in real time, the activity across our nurseries and schools.”
Challenges before implementing Kinderpedia
Before Kinderpedia, communication with families was often complicated: important messages were easily lost among numerous replies, and key information didn’t always reach the right people.
“Before Kinderpedia, we used other applications for communication with parents. The most difficult part was that after I sent an important message, there would be a flood of replies from parents, and the key information would get lost.” – Iulia Moldovan, Teacher
Switching to Kinderpedia brought clarity and control:
“With Kinderpedia, when I send a message, I can select exactly the child, if it’s for one student in particular, the parents of that student, or the whole parent group… The message goes directly to the right people. There are no more misunderstandings or confusion.”
How Kinderpedia strengthened school–family relationships
Daily posts help reduce parents’ anxiety and build trust in the educational process: “The daily posts we share on Kinderpedia allow parents to see, in real time, whether their child is well, whether they’re adapting easily, and so the parents’ anxiety levels drop… The child learns that someone sees them, that someone values them.” – Dana Călinescu, Academic Director
Parents use the platform frequently to communicate directly with the team: “They told us the app is very accessible and that they appreciate being able to communicate directly with teachers… to reach the academic director remotely… and even to connect with other parents in the same class. It’s a tool they use often.” – Dana Călinescu
“Kinderpedia is a genuine support and a reliable ally in strengthening relationships with parents and our community… Parents today love apps, they find them easy to use… they reach out to us more openly, they send messages (all the time) whenever they need to or have a moment available.” – Anca Cucoș, Communications and Marketing Director
Community events have also become easier to plan: “The Events Calendar helps us a lot… it gives us an annual overview of community events, so parents can plan ahead and attend with their families.” – Anca Cucoș
How Kinderpedia supports the coordination of the teaching team
Kinderpedia allows school leaders to monitor teachers’ activity in real time, without bureaucracy and without long meetings. Teachers post photos, materials, and class activity summaries daily, while the academic team can instantly observe how lessons are adapted to each child’s level. “The platform allows me to see whether the activities are age-appropriate and whether the message to parents is clear.” – Dana Călinescu, Academic Director
Everything happens in a collaborative space, where feedback is offered quickly and constructively. “I can step in on the platform at any time to make suggestions to my colleagues. Teachers feel seen and supported, even from a distance.” – Dana Călinescu
How Kinderpedia supports a dual curriculum (Canadian & Romanian)
“Maple Bear requires me to harmonise two curricula, and the platform provides tools for both the Maple Bear curriculum and the Romanian one. Parents receive access to evaluation reports after each unit of study.” – Dana Călinescu
The platform brings transparency and helps parents understand their children’s developmental stages, while also maintaining an ongoing link with Maple Bear’s regional and global academic coordinators - all with minimal time spent in meetings. This digital transformation didn’t just bring efficiency - it also gave teachers more time and created stronger relationships with parents.
Maple Bear Cluj is more than an educational institution - it’s a vibrant community that grows organically, combining a global vision with local roots. With campuses in the Brâncoveanu, Bună Ziua, and Gheorgheni areas of Cluj-Napoca, the school continues to expand, gradually adding primary classes. English is spoken exclusively in the nurseries, and the primary school follows a bilingual curriculum - helping pupils become academically fluent in two languages.
In this context, Kinderpedia is more than just a platform - it’s a partner that helps harmonise curricula, encourages transparent communication, and strengthens the relationships between teachers, students, and parents. Together, Maple Bear Cluj and Kinderpedia shape a modern, connected learning environment focused on every child’s progress.
At the end of the day, Maple Bear Cluj remains a place where every child is seen, every achievement matters, and every family is an active part of the learning journey, while Kinderpedia is the digital thread that connects this ecosystem with ease and efficiency.
“What I value most is that it promotes quality education. Kinderpedia and Maple Bear make an excellent team, delivering what matters most to children — a high-quality education.” Iulia Moldovan, Primary Teacher
