One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
From Maria Montessori
The first idea the child must acquire is that of the difference between good and evil.
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
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.
We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.
The possibility of observing the developments of the psychical life of the child as natural phenomena and experimental reactions transforms the school itself in action into a kind of scientific laboratory for the psychogenetic study of man.
Personal health is related to self-control and to the worship of life in all its natural beauty - self-control bringing with it happiness, renewed youth, and long life.
We await the successsive births in the soul of the child. We give all possible material, that nothing may lack to the groping soul, and then we watch for the perfect faculty to come, safeguarding the child from interruption so that it may carry its efforts through.
When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.
Early childhood education is the key to the betterment of society.
