Two communes around Cluj, two different situations: Feleacu (to the south) offers preschool education only within two schools, plus one private kindergarten, but no public nursery; Gilău (to the west) is better provisioned — it has extended-programme kindergartens and its own state nursery. Below you’ll find the options in each commune and how to enroll.

Feleacu

The public offer is thin — preschoolers are in groups within two schools:

  • “Ștefan Micle” secondary school Feleacu — Feleacu, str. Televiziunii. It has integrated preschool groups.
  • Gheorghieni secondary school — the Gheorghieni village of Feleacu commune (not the Gheorgheni neighbourhood in Cluj), str. Principală. It has preschool groups.

Private:

  • “Prichiland-Wonderland” kindergarten Feleacu — an authorised private kindergarten (ages 2–6), in the Dealul Feleacului area (the Wonderland complex). There’s no nursery at this location.

Note (metadata check): at the same Wonderland complex, a kindergarten called “Alice in Wonderland” was reported as unauthorised — don’t confuse it with “Prichiland-Wonderland”, the authorised one. There’s no public nursery in Feleacu commune, so for ages 0–3 many families commute to Cluj-Napoca.

Gilău

Gilău is the best provisioned of the nearby communes, all coordinated by the “Gelu Voievod” theoretical high school Gilău:

  • Normal-programme Kindergarten No. 1 — Gilău, str. Școlii.
  • Extended-programme Kindergarten No. 2 — Gilău, str. Grădiniței.
  • “Poiana Veseliei” extended-programme kindergarten — Gilău, str. Creșei.
  • “Căsuța din Copac” extended-programme nursery — Gilău, str. Creșei. A state nursery (0–3) — an important advantage of the commune.
  • Normal-programme kindergartens in Someșu Rece and Someșu Rece-Uzină — in the commune’s villages.

How to enroll

  • Kindergarten: on the ISJ Cluj calendar — see the enrollment calendar and enrolling in a state kindergarten.
  • Nursery (Gilău): the file is submitted at “Gelu Voievod” high school, not the Cluj-Napoca municipal network.
  • Feleacu, ages 0–3: with no public nursery, check the private options nearby or the nurseries in Cluj-Napoca.

Confirm the details. Addresses sometimes differ slightly between sources; confirm with the town hall and the coordinating school/high school.
