More quotes by Maria Montessori
The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn.
Maria Montessori
Happiness is not the whole aim of education. A man must be independent in his powers and character able to work and assert his mastery over all that depends on him.
Maria Montessori
There should be music in the child's environment, just as there does exist in the child's environment spoken speech. In the social environment the child should be considered and music should be provided.
Maria Montessori
Do not offer the child the content of the mind, but the order for that content.
Maria Montessori
A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
Maria Montessori
Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.
Maria Montessori
The hand is the prehensile organ of the mind.
Maria Montessori
To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom.
Maria Montessori
The social rights of children must be recognized so that a world suited to their needs may be constructed for them. The greatest crime that society commits is that of wasting the money which it should use for children on things that will destroy them and society itself as well.
Maria Montessori
The children are now working as if I did not exist.
Maria Montessori
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
Maria Montessori
By the age of three, the child has already laid down the foundations of his personality as a human being, and only then does he need the help of special scholastic influences. So great are the conquests he has made that one may well say: the child who goes to school at three is already a little man.
Maria Montessori
The development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori
The adult works to improve his environment while the child works to improve himself.
Maria Montessori
Since it is through movement that the will realises itself, we should assist a child in his attempts to put his will into act.
Maria Montessori
Only practical work and experience lead the young to maturity.
Maria Montessori
As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.
Maria Montessori
in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.
Maria Montessori
The teacher's task is not a small easy one! She has to prepare a huge amount of knowledge to satisfy the child's mental hunger. She is not like the ordinary teacher, limited by a syllabus. The needs of the child are clearly more difficult to answer.
Maria Montessori
The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself.
