More quotes by Maria Montessori
The child endures all things.
Maria Montessori
The teacher, when she begins work in our schools, must have a kind of faith that the child will reveal himself through work.
Maria Montessori
The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.
Maria Montessori
No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child
Maria Montessori
A teacher, therefore, who would think that he could prepare himself for his mission through study alone would be mistaken. The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task.
Maria Montessori
The needs of mankind are universal. Our means of meeting them create the richness and diversity of the planet. The Montessori child should come to relish the texture of that diversity.
Maria Montessori
First the education of the senses, then the education of the intellect.
Maria Montessori
The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities.
Maria Montessori
The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy.
Maria Montessori
The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.
Maria Montessori
Children are not only sensitive to silence, but also to a voice which calls them ... Out of that silence.
Maria Montessori
At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.
Maria Montessori
The concept of an education centered upon the care of the living being alters all previous ideas. Resting no longer on a curriculum, or a timetable, education must conform to the facts of human life.
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
Except when he has regressive tendencies, the child's nature is to aim directly and energetically at functional independence.
Maria Montessori
It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and, having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.
Maria Montessori
Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.
Maria Montessori
Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.
Maria Montessori
The greatest step forward in human evolution was made when society began to help the weak and the poor, instead of oppressing and despising them.
Maria Montessori
A humankind abandoned in its earlier formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to survival.
Maria Montessori
