Dr. Maria Montessori

The child's choice, practical work, care of others and the environment, and above all the high levels of concentration reached when work is respected and not interrupted, reveal a human being that is superior not only academically, but emotionally and spiritually, a child who cares deeply about other people and the world, and who works to discover a unique and individual way to contribute. This is the essence of real "Montessori" work today.

      Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.

     Whoever touches the life of the child touches  the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future.

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