More quotes by 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
Education should therefore include the two forms of work, manual and intellectual, for the same person, and thus make it understood by practical experience that these two kinds complete each other and are equally essential to a civilized existence.
Maria Montessori
As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.
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
The ‘absorbent mind’ welcomes everything, puts its hope in everything, accepts poverty equally with wealth, adopts any religion and the prejudices and habits of its countrymen, incarnating all in itself. This is the child!
Maria Montessori
It is not the child as a physical but as a psychic being that can provide a strong impetus to the betterment of mankind. It is the spirit of the child that can determine the course of human progress and lead it perhaps even to a higher form of civilization.
Maria Montessori
The child endures all things.
Maria Montessori
Order is not goodness but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.
Maria Montessori
Growth comes from activity, not from intellectual understanding.
Maria Montessori
Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.
Maria Montessori
The child’s parents are not his makers but his guardians.
Maria Montessori
The first duty of the educator, whether he is involved with the newborn infant or the older child, is to recognize the human personality of the young being and respect it.
Maria Montessori
Any child who is self-sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement the image of human dignity which is derived from a sense of independence.
Maria Montessori
No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.
Maria Montessori
The child is truly a miraculous being, and this should be felt deeply by the educator.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
Maria Montessori
Mental development must be connected with movement and be dependent on it. It is vital that educational theory and practice should be informed by that idea.
Maria Montessori
The development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori
The observation of the way in which the children pass from the first disordered movements to those which are spontaneous and ordered -- this is the book of the teacher this is the book which must inspire her actions . . .
Maria Montessori
It is in the encounter of the maternal guiding instincts with the sensitive periods of the newly born that conscious love develops between parent and child.
Maria Montessori
