"Whoever touches the life of the child touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future...."

".......The real preparation for education is the study of one's self. The training of the teacher is something far more than a learning of ideas. It includes the training of character; it is a preparation of the spirit."

Maria Montessori.

"It is not enough for the teacher to love the child. She must first love and understand the universe........ To work consciously for the child and to go deep down, with the tremendous intention of understanding him, would be to conquer the secrets of mankind, just as so many secrets of nature have been conquered in the world around us."

Maria Montessori
