Maria Montessori Letter 6 January 1907
The first Montessori Casa dei Bambini (Children's House) was opened on 6 January 1907 in San Lorenzo, Rome. Maria Montessori wrote the following letter commemorating the occasion.
I started my work like a peasant who had put aside good seeds of wheat, and to whom a fertile piece of land had been offered so he could sow it according to his wish. But it was not to be. As soon as I moved the sods of that earth, I found gold, rather than wheat. The sods were hiding a precious treasure.
