Our thoughts on Montessori and education

“The mind of the child does not limit itself to the objects they can see…”

"…and their qualities, but goes beyond this, showing imagination. Children for whom a table in play becomes a house, a chair serves as a horse, who can visualize a fairy and fairyland, have no difficulty in visualizing America or the world, especially with a globe to help. ." 
   
— Dr. Maria Montessori

What is the role of imagination in child development? How does imaginative play relate to the grounded activities of the Montessori classroom?

“And so we discovered that education is not something which the teacher does…”

"…but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being."
