Our 4 year old son, native English speaker, needs playmates his age/around his age, for fun couple of hours over the weekend. Weather permitting, playgrounds and/or parks would be best for a meetup.

I'm also looking - if you have info available, for story telling/meetups with other toddlers in libraries/theater settings.

If available, know of such events, please PM me.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatelly i am a working mom, so meeting during the week is out of question, and only weekends remain available. And parks are full of Romanian speaking kids, which my son is responsive to, but I want an activity in English for him. I even wrote to the British council maybe they have something available, turns out 4yo fluent in English are very rare.

Unfortunate!

Again thank you for your reply! If we're going to Brasov anytime soon I will contact you if that's ok with you:)

I actually found someone in Bucharest. But I cannot simply attach my self and a 4yo to a family!

Maybe I should start my own English story telling club!

I think since you're only available on the weekends, and considering that Bucharest is so spread out, you might find it challenging to find other expats that are willing and able to participate. But it won't hurt to put a word out and see you draw any interest. The EVENTS section is a good place to do this.

Good luck

It might be worth you checking out www.BucharestWithKids.net as they have details of various meet-ups and other events for kids and families in Bucharest. It's a relatively new website designed for English-speakers in Bucharest so could be a useful resource for you. I know they're starting a forum to facilitate arranging meet-ups as well. Where are you based? There's a lot of native English speaking families in and around Pipera.

Hello
We are Romanians. I have a 3,5 boy speaking English and Romanian (we lived in UK until he was 2). We live at Tineretului (close to Alba Iulia) and go out to play every weekend - parks, forest, theaters, swimming, etc. Give me a sign if you want local friends

Hi Michaela,

Why don't you send an email to Bucharest Moms. Its an online group of mainly expat mums. The email address is "Bucharestmoms@yahoogroups.com"

Hope this helps,

Hello,

This topic is for playmates in Bucharest, not Brasov. Also, I believe peainapod has since moved on to the UK if I'm not mistaken.

I'd recommend you start a new topic in the Brasov forum if you want to organize something in Brasov

Hi Carmen,

My wife and I just moved to Bucharest with our 2yr old daughter. We would like her to socialize in English with children her age. We live near Piata Romana, but are flexible to meet at any park. If you would like to schedule a playdate, let me know.

Best,
Jonathan
