To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.

The first duty of the educator, whether he is involved with the newborn infant or the older child, is to recognize the human personality of the young being and respect it.

Concentration is a part of life. It is not the consequence of a method of education.

The teacher's task is not a small easy one! She has to prepare a huge amount of knowledge to satisfy the child's mental hunger. She is not like the ordinary teacher, limited by a syllabus. The needs of the child are clearly more difficult to answer.

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.

Concentration is the key that opens up to the child the latent treasures within him.

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