To consider the school as a place where instruction is given is one point of view. But, to consider the school as a preparation for life is another. In the latter case, the school must satisfy all the needs of life.

More quotes by Maria Montessori
He who is served is limited in his independence.
Maria Montessori
There is in the child a special kind of sensitivity which leads him to absorb everything about him, and it is this work of observing and absorbing that alone enables him to adapt himself to life
Maria Montessori
Growth comes from activity, not from intellectual understanding.
Maria Montessori
The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!
Maria Montessori
The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned.
Maria Montessori
What the hand does the mind remembers.
Maria Montessori
Happiness is not the whole aim of education. A man must be independent in his powers and character able to work and assert his mastery over all that depends on him.
Maria Montessori
The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.
Maria Montessori
Education should therefore include the two forms of work, manual and intellectual, for the same person, and thus make it understood by practical experience that these two kinds complete each other and are equally essential to a civilized existence.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty. . . . We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.
Maria Montessori
The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself.
Maria Montessori
A teacher, therefore, who would think that he could prepare himself for his mission through study alone would be mistaken. The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task.
Maria Montessori
There is no description, no image in any book that is capable of replacing the sight of real trees, and all of the life to be found around them in a real forest.
Maria Montessori
It is well to cultivate a friendly feeling towards error, to treat it as a companion inseparable from our lives, as something having a purpose, which it truly has.
Maria Montessori
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 real preparation for education is the study of one's self.
Maria Montessori
The child has other powers than ours, and the creation he achieves is no small one it is everything.
Maria Montessori
The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination.
Maria Montessori
It is exactly in the repetition of the exercises that the education of the senses exists not that the child shall know colors, forms or qualities, but that he refine his senses through an exercise of attention, comparison and judgment.
Maria Montessori
