With vlcaks you best acclimatize to everything, just in case. You may be lucky and your vlcak will be OK with kids even though never meeting them before, but you may also be unlucky.
My Frei is great with children, but needs to be watched - she is too enthusiastic and somehow does not understand that they are easily scared. When she was young we didn't have any small kids in the family, so she learned only from passing strangers and their children. Just this Sunday her wellcome brought my little niece to tears (being sleepy didn't help either). But she tolerates a lot from little kids, likes to kiss them and even lets them play with her small pups, just making sure from time to time that both pups and the kid are fine.
Regarding kids and vlcaks - I remembered a funny situation from the summer camp 2009, the kids were running around, coming to their respective dogs (which were tied at the porches of our huts) and showing to each other that the dogs are not aggressive, by sticking hands into their mouths. And the vlcaks were great - either wagging their tails at kiddies, or if they didn't like it, moving a bit away and lying down there.
