Montessori philosophy states . . . that the child contains a "spiritual embryo" or pattern of psychic development even before birth. The two conditions of an integral relationship with the environment and freedom for the child must exist if this embryo is to develop according to its plan. The goal of the child is to so develop, and he is intrinsically motivated toward this goal with an intensity unequaled in all of creation. Since he must create himself out of of undeveloped psychic structures, he has been given special internal aids for the task: the Sensitive Periods and the Absorbent Mind. The principles or natural laws governing the child's psychic growth reveal themselves only through the process of his development. [from Montessori: A Modern Approach
