Maria Montessori
Image
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
Image
The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!
Maria Montessori

No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.
Maria Montessori
