Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
These words reveal the child’s inner needs ‘Help me to do it alone’.
Maria Montessori
The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult.
Maria Montessori
If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be placed in order . . .
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
Only practical work and experience lead the young to maturity.
Maria Montessori
Education today, in this particular social period, is assuming truly unlimited importance. And the increased emphasis on its practical value can be summed up in one sentence: education is the best weapon for peace.
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
