The children are now working as if I did not exist.

There is in every child a painstaking teacher so skillful that he obtains identical results in all children in all parts of the world. The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one teaches them anything.

Adults have not understood children or adolescents and they are, as a consequence, in continual conflict with them.

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

There are many things which no teacher can convey to a child of three, but a child of five can do it with ease.

We cannot create observers by saying 'observe,' but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.

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