More quotes by Maria Montessori
As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.
Maria Montessori
He who is served is limited in his independence.
Maria Montessori
Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.
Maria Montessori
If the idea of the universe is presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying.
Maria Montessori
Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.
Maria Montessori
The principal agent is the object itself and not the instruction given by the teacher. It is the child who uses the objects it is the child who is active, and not the teacher.
Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent.
Maria Montessori
If a child finds no stimuli for the activities which would contribute to his development, he is attracted simply to 'things' and desires to posses them.
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
To have a vision of the cosmic plan, in which every form of life depends on directed movements which have effects beyond their conscious aim, is to understand the child's work and be able to guide it better.
Maria Montessori
The prize and punishments are incentives toward unnatural or forced effort, and, therefore we certainly cannot speak of the natural development of the child in connection with them.
Maria Montessori
Teach by teaching, not by correcting
Maria Montessori
The child is an enigma… He has the highest potentialities, but we do not know what he will be.
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
The adult works to improve his environment while the child works to improve himself.
Maria Montessori
The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult.
Maria Montessori
Beauty lies in harmony, not in contrast and harmony is refinement therefore, there must be a fineness of the senses if we are to appreciate harmony.
Maria Montessori
A great deal of time and intellectual force are lost in the world, because the false seems great and the truth so small and insignificant.
Maria Montessori
The child will reveal himself through work.
Maria Montessori
To consider the school as a place where instruction is given is one point of view. But, to consider the school as a preparation for life is another. In the latter case, the school must satisfy all the needs of life.
Maria Montessori
