In 2012 I graduated the Department of Preschool and Primary School Education at the University of Bucharest, but I felt the need for a different type of education. The crucial moment came when I became mother for the little girl that changed my life. Along with my husband (who in the meanwhile became a Montessori elementary teacher), I started searching for more information about Montessori education.

We both realized that this is a method with solid principles, centred on the child and his needs. Meanwhile I attended the AMI Primary Assistant Teacher Training (3-6 years) and the Montessori Assistants to Infancy Training for teachers (0-3) at the Montessori Institute of Bucharest (2015).

As a Montessori teacher I worked with children between 0 and 6 years old. Additionally, I held different arts & crafts and music & movement projects.

My greatest satisfaction is when I kneel down and see the happiness in children’s eyes, or when I notice the development stages the children go through and especially when I realize how independent the children can become when we trust them completely.

After getting a degree in Journalism, I continued my Master degree in Communication and Public Relations. The love for children has won and made me head towards educating them, out of the desire to actively and directly participate in all the aspects of providing the care and responsibility for the future of the little ones.

I am a happy, warm and creative person. I wish to offer children all my knowledge, attention and affection, so that they become as willing to learn and to grow as they can be.

I graduated the Pedagogical College and the Psychology Department, determined to learn more of the wonders in the children’s world. Working with children suits me very well, because I am a calm and warm person, who likes to observe their behavior.

I worked as a teacher for 8 years in the public teaching system. I wanted to give credence to a different type of education and I am currently attending the AMI Primary Teacher Training (3-6 years) at the Montessori Institute of Bucharest, to become a Montessori teacher.I like to offer children independence to think and to act, and to see them grow intellectually, psychically, emotionally and in terms of movement, through the knowledge of this method.

My educational background consists of my graduating the Department of Psychology and Educational Sciences, the Pedagogy department. I also graduated Social Pedagogy at University College, Denmark. I am currently attending the first year of the Master programme “The Management and Assessment of Organizations and Educational Programmes” at the Department of Psychology and Educational Sciences.

The work and the effort I put in finishing my specialization in the education area were accomplished with the purpose of understanding the child as a whole, of being able to engage in different activities that help the child develop. My experience in working with children is an interesting one, I worked as a teacher in a “forest kindergarten” where I used only natural materials, thus offering the children a series of activities that involved socializing, being responsible and learning actively.

Along with my colleagues I am dedicated to children in my daily work, so that I can offer learning experiences and a safe and stimulating environment to all of them.

I graduated the Department of Psychology at the University of Bucharest and I am a psychiatrist-to-be (The Romanian Association of Person-Centered Psychotherapy).

My interest in the Montessori system was an outcome of the quests that guided my journey throughout the last six years of working with children, in an attempt to encompass a learning environment both with the mind and with the soul. I found some of the answers I was looking for in getting involved in different non-formal education programmes and child’s personal development studies, but I felt that I could do more than that. Those few hours a week that I used to spend with the children seemed too few, and then I discovered Montessori. Studying, I realized that Montessori can be a lifestyle beyond a learning environment, the collaboration with the parents being an essential part of it.

I am bringing along the patience and the warmth I possess, and also the experience gained from interacting with the children that I have been so honoured to work with so far. I found out how important it is to offer the child a learning environment centered on his individual needs and on his personal growth level by working with also with children with special needs. I think that Montessori is the environment that satisfies all needs.

I am currently attending the AMI Teacher Training (0-3 years) at the Montessori Institute Sankt Petersburg.
