The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.

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

The development of the child during the first three years after birth is unequaled in intensity and importance by any period that precedes or follows in the whole life of the child.

The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.

It follows that at the beginning of his life the individual can accomplish wonders without effort and quite unconsciously.
