More quotes by Maria Montessori
A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
Maria Montessori
It is not in human nature for all men to tread the same path of development, as animals do of a single species.
Maria Montessori
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
Maria Montessori
The teacher's task is not a small easy one! She has to prepare a huge amount of knowledge to satisfy the child's mental hunger. She is not like the ordinary teacher, limited by a syllabus. The needs of the child are clearly more difficult to answer.
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
The whole of mankind is one and only one, one race, one class and one society.
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 ‘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
Teach by teaching, not by correcting
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
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
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
If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.
Maria Montessori
Freedom in intellectual work is found to be the basis of internal discipline.
Maria Montessori
A child's character develops in accordance with the obstacles he has encountered... or the freedom favoring his development that he has enjoyed.
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
The child who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope that humanity can develop in a new direction.
Maria Montessori
The child has a different relation to his environment from ours... the child absorbs it. The things he sees are not just remembered they form part of his soul. He incarnates in himself all in the world about him that his eyes see and his ears hear.
Maria Montessori
Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.
Maria Montessori
It is well to cultivate a friendly feeling towards error, to treat it as a companion inseparable from our lives, as something having a purpose, which it truly has.
Maria Montessori
