More quotes by Maria Montessori
Concentration is the key that opens up to the child the latent treasures within him.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
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
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
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
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
One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty.
Maria Montessori
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
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
When dealing with children there is greater need for observing than of probing
Maria Montessori
We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity not wait on him, but educate him to be independent.
Maria Montessori
When we want to infuse new ideas, to modify or better the habits and customs of a people, to breathe new vigor into its national traits, we must use the children as our vehicle for little can be accomplished with adults.
Maria Montessori
Only practical work and experience lead the young to maturity.
Maria Montessori
These words reveal the child’s inner needs ‘Help me to do it alone’.
Maria Montessori
An interesting piece of work, freely chosen, which has the virtue of inducing concentration rather than fatigue, adds to the child's energies and mental capacities, and leads him to self-mastery.
Maria Montessori
Teach by teaching, not by correcting
Maria Montessori
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
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
To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom.
Maria Montessori
