More quotes by Maria Montessori
The essential thing is to arouse such an interest that it engages the child’s whole personality.
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
There should be music in the child's environment, just as there does exist in the child's environment spoken speech. In the social environment the child should be considered and music should be provided.
Maria Montessori
In the psychological realm of relationship between teacher and child, the teacher's part and its techniques are analogous to those of the valet they are to serve, and to serve well: to serve the spirit.
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
If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be placed in order . . .
Maria Montessori
It is exactly in the repetition of the exercises that the education of the senses exists not that the child shall know colors, forms or qualities, but that he refine his senses through an exercise of attention, comparison and judgment.
Maria Montessori
There are many things which no teacher can convey to a child of three, but a child of five can do it with ease.
Maria Montessori
The child has other powers than ours, and the creation he achieves is no small one it is everything.
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
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
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
The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil.
Maria Montessori
An educational method that shall have liberty as its basis must intervene to help the child to a conquest of liberty. That is to say, his training must be such as shall help him to diminish as much as possible the social bonds which limit his activity.
Maria Montessori
We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.
Maria Montessori
The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy.
Maria Montessori
At a given moment a child becomes interested in a piece of work, showing it by the expression of his face, by his intense attention, by his perseverance in the same exercise. That child has set foot upon the road leading to discipline.
Maria Montessori
The child is truly a miraculous being, and this should be felt deeply by the educator.
Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent. Therefore, the first active manifestations of the child's individual liberty must be so guided that through this activity he may arrive at independence.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty.
