She tells us that we are born with a love for our fellow human beings, with natural kindness, goodness, and compassion. She believed that freedom, self-discipline and responsibility are all innate in human beings. That gratitude and respect are expressed spontaneously when a person grows up in an environment that fosters development and encourages creativity.<\/p><p>This is exactly what we observe every day in our preschools and schools: children expressing emotions that we rarely associate with childhood, because we often view children as young and immature. And yet, we see children who demonstrate kindness, responsibility, and deep sense of social sensitivity, as well as a willingness to cooperate and obey &#8211; qualities that surprise us and, at the same time, move us.<\/p><p>As Montessori educators, we strive, at every level of education, to offer children the opportunity to experience, on a daily basis and in a natural and effortless way, the values that give meaning to human life. Only then do these values take deep root within the children and become an authentic and integral part of their personality. And it is thanks to the children that hope for a better tomorrow takes root within us\u2014 hope for a better life, imbued with beauty and a more peaceful soul.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-338a8c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"338a8c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\"
