Quote
Although children seem to proceed through the same general stages, they develop at different rates and possess unique temperaments, talents, and interests. Thus, a child-centered philosophy calls for an openness on the part of the adult. The educator is not so much a leader as a follower. The educator tries to see what capacities the child herself feels a deep urge to master, and then tries to give the child opportunities to do so.
