“A contact is a small thing, it is like the light switch that can turn on 200 light bulbs. It can bring light to where there was darkness, it can transform life, it can open doors that have been closed for centuries, it can fling open windows that have been sealed closed since time immemorial.” Maria Montessori

AN E-COURSE ABOUT MONTESSORI CORE VALUES AND EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES FOR RAISING PEACEFUL CHILDREN What is a sensitive period? It is when nature provides a window of great opportunity of being at the peak of our potential for learning and acquiring new skills and new capacities. In the first year of life we build our brains and we take to our feet and we launch our life. We build the foundations of everything we will accomplish and create. Supporting development in these great windows of opportunity means knowing about how to support these sensitive periods. |
