The greatest sign of success...

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 341 quotes

Do not tell them how to do it...

Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

To consider the school as a p...

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.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

The child has a different relation to his environment from ours... the child absorbs it. The things he sees are not just remembered; they form part of his soul. He incarnates in himself all in the world about him that his eyes see and his ears hear.

The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

There is a great sense of community within the Montessori classroom, where children of differing ages work together in an atmosphere of cooperation rather than competitiveness. There is respect for the environment and for the individuals within it, which comes through experience of freedom within the community.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Let the children be free; enc...

Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and when the grass of the meadows is wet with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath its shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

A child is an eager observer ...

A child is an eager observer and is particularly attracted by the actions of the adults and wants to imitate them. In this regard an adult can have a kind of mission. He can be an inspiration for the child's actions, a kind of open book wherein a child can learn how to direct his own movements. But an adult, if he is to afford proper guidance, must always be calm and act slowly so that the child who is watching him can clearly see his actions in all their particulars.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity; not wait on him, but educate him to be independent.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

The environment must be rich ...

The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

First the education of the senses, then the education of the intellect.

The adult works to improve his environment while the child works to improve himself.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Any child who is self-sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement the image of human dignity which is derived from a sense of independence.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Peace is what every human being is craving for, and it can be brought about by humanity through the child.
