‘The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six ... At no other age has the child greater need for an intelligent help, and any obstacle that impedes his creative work will lessen the chance he has of achieving perfection’.
(Dr. Maria Montessori)
