There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important part of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when a man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence the full totality of his psychic powers.
Maria Montessori
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
Maria Montessori
The instructions of the teacher consist then merely in a hint, a touch-enough to give a start to the child. The rest develops of itself.
Maria Montessori
The greatest triumph of our educational method should always be this: to bring about the spontaneous progress of the child.
Maria Montessori
The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.
Maria Montessori
The real preparation for education is a study of one's self. The training of the teacher...is something far more than a learning of ideas. It includes the training of character it is a preparation of the spirit.
Maria Montessori
The child is much more spiritually elevated than is usually supposed. He often suffers, not from too much work, but from work that is unworthy of him.
Maria Montessori
What the hand does the mind remembers.
Maria Montessori
