Play Is The Work Of The Child.

The Child Has Other Powers Than Ours, And The Creation He Achieves Is No Small One; It Is Everything.

This Then Is The First Duty Of An Educator: To Stir Up Life But Leave It Free To Develop.

To Assist A Child We Must Provide Him With An Environment Which Will Enable Him To Develop Freely.

The Needs Of Mankind Are Universal. Our Means Of Meeting Them Create The Richness And Diversity Of The Planet. The Montessori Child Should Come To Relish The Texture Of That Diversity.

Respect All The Reasonable Forms Of Activity In Which The Child Engages And Try To Understand Them.
