Montessori envisioned a world where you and I would think for ourselves instead of being controlled and manipulated; where human beings would live in harmony with all other forms of life on this planet; where we would live lives of continual personal and social growth and learning. Montessori had a vision that you and I would emerge as truly free, authentic individuals.
