"It is clear that nature includes among the missions she has entrusted to the child, the mission of arousing us, adults, to reach a higher level."

 

Maria Montessori

 

 

"Nature revels in diversity.  Just as no two human faces are alike, so each mind is a special creation and builds up a unique system of knowledge... Each has its own special capacities, its own method of organizing its experience, its own flashes of illumination."

 

from Maria Montessori
