More quotes by Maria Montessori
In nature nothing creates itself and nothing destroys itself.
Maria Montessori
One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
Maria Montessori
By the age of three, the child has already laid down the foundations of his personality as a human being, and only then does he need the help of special scholastic influences. So great are the conquests he has made that one may well say: the child who goes to school at three is already a little man.
Maria Montessori
The child is truly a miraculous being, and this should be felt deeply by the educator.
Maria Montessori
Order is not goodness but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty.
Maria Montessori
Only practical work and experience lead the young to maturity.
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
The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned.
Maria Montessori
First the education of the senses, then the education of the intellect.
Maria Montessori
Except when he has regressive tendencies, the child's nature is to aim directly and energetically at functional independence.
Maria Montessori
Growth and psychic development are therefore guided by: the absorbent mind, the nebulae and the sensitive periods, with their respective mechanisms. It is these that are hereditary and characteristic of the human species. But the promise they hold can only be fulfilled through the experience of free activity conducted in the environment.
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
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
Education demands, then, only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction.
Maria Montessori
The child endures all things.
Maria Montessori
The adult ought never to mold the child after himself, but should leave him alone and work always from the deepest comprehension of the child himself.
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 development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori
Freedom in intellectual work is found to be the basis of internal discipline.
Maria Montessori
