Over 100 years ago, Montessori concluded what so many had missed.
​
Children learn differently than adults.
​
After decades of studying children around the world, she defined the
'Universal Characteristics of Children' to explain how all children learn.
All children have an inner desire to learn.
"What the hand does, the mind remembers."
Children have 'Absorbent Minds'.
Children strive for independence and learning how to care for themselves.
Children Pass Through Sensitive Periods
"Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and less still to force him to memorize, but to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core."
~ Maria Montessori
