The teacher's task is not a small easy one! She has to prepare a huge amount of knowledge to satisfy the child's mental hunger. She is not like the ordinary teacher, limited by a syllabus. The needs of the child are clearly more difficult to answer.

The teacher, when she begins work in our schools, must have a kind of faith that the child will reveal himself through work.

As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.

The child should live in an environment of beauty.

Childhood constitutes the most important element in an adult's life, for it is in his early years that a man is made.

Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.

We must, therefore, quit our roles as jailers and instead take care to prepare an environment in which we do as little as possible to exhaust the child with our surveillance and instruction
