A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.

The child can only develop fully by means of experience in his environment. We call such experience 'work'.

Giving children the opportunity to stir up life and leave it free to discover.

Order is not goodness; but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.

There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature.

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 goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn.
