Quotes about Young Children

"The best teachers are those who show you where to look but don't tell you what to see."
-- Alexandra K. Trenfor


I love this quote, because I think it is so important to encourage a child's natural curiosity.  Children who are inquisitive are great thinkers and problem solvers.  I hope to encourage and inspire my students to be lifelong learners.  My job is not to tell them all the answers, but to guide them with great experiences and questions.


Children's games are hardly games. Children are never more serious than when they play.
- MONTAIGNE, Essays
 
This is another favorite quote of mine.  Play is work for children, and too many adults do not realize this.  When children are playing, they are exploring and learning to make sense of their world!
