The word education must not be understood in the sense of teaching but of assisting the psychological development of the child.

The adult ought never to mold the child after himself, but should leave him alone and work always from the deepest comprehension of the child himself.

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 development of the mind comes through movement

The child will reveal himself through work.

We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.

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.
