Ashley loves Montessori because it empowers the whole child both mind and body. Ashley also recognizes the independence Montessori instills in a child. Her favorite Montessori quote is: "These very children reveal to us the most vital need of their development, saying : 'Help me to do it alone!'" (From Childhood to Adolescence, p. 67).
