" I genuinely believed in following the child's method in a Montessori environment and that surprisingly, by the end of the day, it is not just the children who learns from the adult, it is mainly the adult who learns from the children. “ My experiences with children are extraordinary and they never fail to amuse me each and every single time, which made it rewarding and priceless.
