I have studied the child. I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it and that is what is called the Montessori method.

Bring the child to the consciousness of his own dignity, and he will be free. We see no limit to what should be offered to the child, for his will be an immense field of chosen activity.

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

Play is the work of the child.

He who is served is limited in his independence.

The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.

To teach details is to bring confusion; to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.
