When I
think of child development…
All that is valuable in human society depends upon the
opportunity for development accorded the individual.
~Albert Einstein
If education
is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere
transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering
of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the
individual's total development lags behind?
~Maria
Montessori
Free the
child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.
~Maria
Montessori
Never help a
child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
~Maria
Montessori
The greatest
sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are
now working as if I did not exist."
~Maria
Montessori
We cannot
create observers by saying 'observe,' but by giving them the power and the
means for this observation and these means are procured through education of
the senses.
~Maria
Montessori
We discovered
that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural
process which develops spontaneously in the human being.
~Maria
Montessori
It is with
children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical
knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.
~Jean Piaget
