This is my favorite quote from Maria Montessori. I can say as a teacher, it is the most beautiful thing to see. The quote comes from a time Maria was running late to her school. She was very concerned what she would find the children doing when she arrived. To her surprise, the children had let themselves into the classroom and begun the day just as they do when she is normally there. #selfdirected #mindsprout #montessori #quoteoftheday #woodlandsmoms #houstonhomeschoolers #oldtownspringtx
