More quotes by Maria Montessori
Only when the child is able to identify its own center with the center of the universe does education really begin.
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
A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
Maria Montessori
Order is not goodness but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.
Maria Montessori
What the hand does the mind remembers.
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
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
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
My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding from secondary school to University but of passing from one stage of independence to a higher, by means of their own activity and effort of will.
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
One of the great problems facing men is their failure to realize the fact that a child possesses an active psychic life even when he cannot manifest it, and that the child must secretly perfect this inner life over a long period of time.
Maria Montessori
Growth and psychic development are therefore guided by: the absorbent mind, the nebulae and the sensitive periods, with their respective mechanisms. It is these that are hereditary and characteristic of the human species. But the promise they hold can only be fulfilled through the experience of free activity conducted in the environment.
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
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
Education must start from birth.
Maria Montessori
He who is served is limited in his independence.
Maria Montessori
No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child
Maria Montessori
It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and, having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.
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
Concentration is the key that opens up to the child the latent treasures within him.
Maria Montessori
