"....you yourselves must be filled with wonder and when you have
acquired that, you are prepared."
- Montessori, Her Life and Work :: The Penguin Group, 1987 :: p. 309

"We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think
for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the
spirit."

I don't see Maria Montessori's theories exactly replicated in Montessori
schools today, I have researched the schools in my area and found them very
very lacking. But, I do love Maria Montessori and her wonderful
understanding of children! Her quotes bring tears to my eyes so many times
and enrich my parenting untold countless ways. Her counsel to be a student
of the child is just precious to me. Just thought I'd share.
