Things to Remember
“The brain before six is a sponge. Absorbing absolutely everything.”
“The absorbent mind is a beautiful tool that must be respected, nurtured, and protected as much as possible.”
– Jeanne-Marie Paynel
“It is the child’s way of learning. This is the path he follows. He learns everything without knowing he is learning it, and in doing so he passes little by little from the unconscious to the conscious, treading always in the paths of joy and love.”
“Our work as adults does not consist in teaching, but in helping the infant mind in the work of development.”
“The child is much more spiritually elevated than is usually supposed. He often suffers, not from too much work, but from work that is unworthy of him.”
– Dr. Maria Montessori
“Work is love made visible.” – Kahlil Gibran
