Maria Montessori
The development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori
We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity not wait on him, but educate him to be independent.
Maria Montessori
Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.
Maria Montessori
The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.
Maria Montessori
The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself.
Maria Montessori
The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.
