*The books written by Dr. Montessori are a reflection of her sustained and objective observations of children over several decades. Her observations help us to understand the child's innate potential and how to support him in all his endeavours. This potential, universal in all children, enables in the creation of a personality and character that is grounded in reality and strength to take on the responsibility of life as an adult.
