Weekly Update Feb. 7 - Feb. 14

February 7th, 2025


On every teacher and every parent, I urge not great instruction, but humility and simplicity in dealing with small children. Their lives are fresh, without rivalry or external ambitions, it takes so little to make them happy, to let them work in their own way towards the normal development of the men and women they will be. 
Maria Montessori
