The development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori

By the age of three, the child has already laid down the foundations of his personality as a human being, and only then does he need the help of special scholastic influences.

Maria Montessori
If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.
Maria Montessori
Mental development must be connected with movement and be dependent on it. It is vital that educational theory and practice should be informed by that idea.
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 whole of mankind is one and only one, one race, one class and one society.
Maria Montessori
The children are now working as if I did not exist.
Maria Montessori
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
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
Great tact and delicacy is necessary for the care of the mind of a child from three to six years, and an adult can have very little of it.
Maria Montessori
Children are not only sensitive to silence, but also to a voice which calls them ... Out of that silence.
Maria Montessori
It is not in human nature for all men to tread the same path of development, as animals do of a single species.
Maria Montessori
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
