More quotes by 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
It is in the encounter of the maternal guiding instincts with the sensitive periods of the newly born that conscious love develops between parent and child.
Maria Montessori
The child is an enigma… He has the highest potentialities, but we do not know what he will be.
Maria Montessori
In the psychological realm of relationship between teacher and child, the teacher's part and its techniques are analogous to those of the valet they are to serve, and to serve well: to serve the spirit.
Maria Montessori
Every great cause is born from repeated failures and from imperfect achievements.
Maria Montessori
Social grace, inner discipline and joy. These are the birthright of the human being who has been allowed to develop essential human qualities.
Maria Montessori
The adult works to improve his environment while the child works to improve himself.
Maria Montessori
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
Maria Montessori
Except when he has regressive tendencies, the child's nature is to aim directly and energetically at functional independence.
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
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
No one who has ever done anything really great or successful has ever done it simply because he was attracted by what we call a 'reward' or by the fear of what we call a 'punishment.'
Maria Montessori
But if for the physical life it is necessary to have the child exposed to the vivifying forces of nature, it is also necessary for his psychical life to place the soul of the child in contact with creation.
Maria Montessori
The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.
Maria Montessori
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
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
A new education from birth onwards must be built up. Education must be reconstructed and based on the law of nature and not on the preconceived notions and prejudices of adult society.
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
There are many things which no teacher can convey to a child of three, but a child of five can do it with ease.
Maria Montessori
We must therefore turn to the child as to the key to the fate of our future life.
Maria Montessori
