  We study a cluster of quantum dots defined within silicene that host confined
electron states with spin and valley degrees of freedom. Atomistic
tight-binding and continuum Dirac approximation are applied for few-electron
system in quest for spontaneous valley polarization driven by inter-dot
tunneling and electron-electron interaction, i.e. a valley counterpart of
itinerary Nagaoka ferromagnetic ordering recently identified in GaAs square
cluster of quantum dots with three excess electrons [P. Dehollain, {\it et
al.}, Nature {\bf 579}, 528 (2020)]. We find that for Hamiltonian without
intrinsic-spin orbit coupling -- similar to the one of graphene with staggered
potential -- the valley polarization in the ground-state can be observed in a
range of inter-dot spacing provided that the spin of the system is frozen by
external magnetic field. The inter-valley scattering effects are negligible for
cluster geometry that supports the valley polarized ground-state. In presence
of a strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling that is characteristic to graphene no
external magnetic field is necessary for observation of ground-state that is
polarized in both spin and valley. The effective magnetic field due to the
spin-orbit interaction produces a perfect anticorrelation of the spin and
valley isospin components in the degenerate ground-state.
