Tomorrow's Hope Montessori School

“It is true that we cannot make a genius. We can only give to teach child the chance to fulfill his potential possibilities.”

"The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself."

"Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world."

“Education is a work of self-organization by which man adapts himself to the conditions of life.”

“In giving freedom and independence to the child, we free a worker who is impelled to act and who cannot live except by his activity, because this is the form of existence of all living beings.”

"The child’s mind is not the type of mind we adults possess. If we call our type of mind the conscious type, that of the child is an unconscious mind. Now an unconscious mind does not mean an inferior mind. An unconscious mind can be full of intelligence. One will find this type of intelligence in every being, and every insect has it.”

“It is a mental chemistry that takes place in the child, producing a chemical transformation. These impressions not only pe*****te the mind of the child, they form it; they become incarnated, for the child makes his own 'mental flesh' in using the things that are in his environment. We have called this type of mind the 'absorbent mind' and it is difficult for us to conceive the magnitude of its powers.”

"“The child becomes a person through work.”

“One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.”
