Words of wisdom from Maria Montessori, the Italian educator and physician who created the Montessori Method, an educational approach that encourages children's learning through discovery that is now used in an estimated 20,000 schools worldwide: “Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.”
