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
The real preparation for education is the study of one's self.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty. . . . We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.
Maria Montessori
Education, as conceived today, is something separated both from biological and social life.
Maria Montessori
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
Maria Montessori
One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
Maria Montessori
We must therefore turn to the child as to the key to the fate of our future life.
Maria Montessori
The fundamental basis of education must always remain that one must act for oneself. That is clear. One must act for him or herself.
Maria Montessori
The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.
Maria Montessori
The child has a different relation to his environment from ours... the child absorbs it. The things he sees are not just remembered they form part of his soul. He incarnates in himself all in the world about him that his eyes see and his ears hear.
Maria Montessori
The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
Maria Montessori
The hand is the prehensile organ of the mind.
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
An interesting piece of work, freely chosen, which has the virtue of inducing concentration rather than fatigue, adds to the child's energies and mental capacities, and leads him to self-mastery.
Maria Montessori
Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas.
Maria Montessori
Education demands, then, only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
Maria Montessori
The development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori
A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
Maria Montessori
