Weekly Update - Litchfield Montessori School | Litchfield Montessori School

“Education between the ages of six to twelve is not a direct continuation of that which has gone before, though it is built upon that basis. Psychologically there is a decided change in personality, and we recognize that nature has made this a period for the acquisition of culture, just as the former was for the absorption of the environment. ”

Maria Montessori
To Educate the Human Potential, p. 3
