The first kindergarten in Bucharest offering the Montessori curriculum received the U.S. Embassy’s Entrepreneur of the Month award for November, a press release informs on Tuesday,  H.E. U.S. Ambassador Hans Klemm attending the event.

The award was hand out to Ana Maria Brezniceanu, the school founder.

“As we celebrate Global Entrepreneurship week and International Education Week, I applaud very heartily Ms. Brezniceanu for founding the Montessori School of Bucharest.  Ana Maria embodies the main qualities of an entrepreneur: resourcefulness, passion and originality.  Romania’s sustainable economic development needs this type of innovative, entrepreneurial and creative citizens.  Today, we recognize Ms. Brezniceanu for doing a very important part in building the Romania of tomorrow – a more entrepreneurial and better educated Romania of tomorrow,” Klemm said.

Ana Maria Brezniceanu spent three years in Canada pursuing a doctoral degree in global education and studying various educational approaches, including the Montessori Method. Upon her return to Romania, Brezniceanu was unhappy with the kindergarten options available to her child, both in the public space, as well as in the private.

In 2007, she opened the Montessori Kindergarten of Bucharest serving eight children up to age six. This was the first kindergarten in Bucharest offering the Montessori curriculum to receive authorization from the Ministry of Education.

In 2014, the school’s success and steady growth led Ana Maria Brezniceanu to open a middle school to offer the Montessori curriculum to older children. Today, the Montessori School of Bucharest has grown to an institution serving 140 children, with 22 teachers and teaching assistants, serving students up to age 12.

“Ms. Brezniceanu’s passion for children’s education and her entrepreneurial spirit gave other parents in Romania an additional choice in education with high academic standards. She recognized an unfulfilled market niche in Romania’s educational space and a strong parental desire in choice for their children’s education,” U.S. diplomat pointed out.

I started my way in life with the intention to pursue a teaching career. But, after graduating from the Faculty of Letters – the University of Bucharest in 2004, my first job as a reporter at one of the leading newspapers in Romania changed my perspective. I have specialized in communication and communication campaigns, following the Master's courses at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies (FJSC), attending a BBC Communications scholarship.
I’ve represented several important publications in Romania as business journalist, being accredited in the finance and banking field. In 2015, I had the opportunity to interview the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission Chief for Romania, Andrea Schaechter. As business journalist, I also had the opportunity to interview ministers for Economics and Commercial
Affairs offices within different embassies in Romania or officials of large companies investing on the domestic market.
After almost 15 years of journalism, I still want to explore new ways, to inform and stay updated. That’s why The Romania Journal project fits me so well.
Today I describe myself as a passionate about the history of world culture, having a PhD in Hebrew Culture and Civilization, after a scholarship at the University of Haifa International School, as a language addict, an environmental activist, pet lover and traveler.
