More quotes by Maria Montessori
The development of the child during the first three years after birth is unequaled in intensity and importance by any period that precedes or follows in the whole life of the child.
Maria Montessori
As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.
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
Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.
Maria Montessori
What we need is a world full of miracles, like the miracle of seeing the young child seeking work and independence, and manifesting a wealth of enthusiasm and love.
Maria Montessori
The child is truly a miraculous being, and this should be felt deeply by the educator.
Maria Montessori
Scientific observation then has established that education is not what the teacher gives education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment.
Maria Montessori
The development of the mind comes through movement
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
Joy is the evidence of inner growth.
Maria Montessori
If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?
Maria Montessori
Within the child lies the fate of the future. Whoever wishes to confer some benefit on society must preserve him from deviations and observe his natural ways of acting. A child is mysterious and powerful and contains within himself the secret of human nature.
Maria Montessori
The whole of mankind is one and only one, one race, one class and one society.
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
Childhood constitutes the most important element in an adult's life, for it is in his early years that a man is made.
Maria Montessori
To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.
Maria Montessori
It follows that at the beginning of his life the individual can accomplish wonders without effort and quite unconsciously.
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
How often is the soul of man - especially in childhood - deprived because he is not allowed to come in contact with nature.
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
