More quotes by Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.
Maria Montessori
The principal agent is the object itself and not the instruction given by the teacher. It is the child who uses the objects it is the child who is active, and not the teacher.
Maria Montessori
The child becomes a person through work.
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
In nature nothing creates itself and nothing destroys 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
To have a vision of the cosmic plan, in which every form of life depends on directed movements which have effects beyond their conscious aim, is to understand the child's work and be able to guide it better.
