Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas.

For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?

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.

Within the child lies the fate of the future.

The child endures all things.

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

This is the treasure we need today - helping the child become independent of us and make his way by himself, receiving in return his gifts of hope and light.
