“We give the name scientist to the type of man who has felt experiment to be a means guiding him to search out the deep truth of life, to lift a veil from its fascinating secrets, and who, in this pursuit, has felt arising within him a love for the mysteries of nature, so passionate as to annihilate the thought of himself.”

- Maria Montessori

“A teacher simply assists him at the beginning to get his bearings among so many different things and teaches him the precise use of each of them; that is to say, she introduces him to the ordered and active life of the environment. But then she leaves him free in the choice and ex*****on of his work.”

- Maria Montessori

“Our joy is to touch, and conquer souls, and this is the one prize which can bring us a true compensation. Sometimes there is given to us a moment when we fancy ourselves to be among the great ones of the world. These are moments of happiness given to man that he may continue his existence in peace.”

- Maria Montessori

Virtue of the Month - March:

Integrity:: Standing on moral high ground. Keeping faith with our ideals and our agreements.

How can we practice integrity this month & everyday?

“There does exist, however, an external prize for man; when, for example, the orator sees the faces of his listeners change with the emotions he has awakened, he experiences something so great that it can only be likened to the intense joy with which one discovers that he is loved.”

“The purpose of life is to obey the hidden command which ensures harmony among all and creates an ever better world. We are not created only to enjoy the world, we are created in order to evolve the cosmos.”

- Maria Montessori

“If you do not exist, you cannot hope to grow. That is the tremendous step the child takes, the step that goes from nothing to something.”

- Maria Montessori

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