“At some given moment it happens that the child becomes deeply interested in a piece of work; we see it in the expression on his face, his intense concentration, the devotion to the exercise.”
Maria Montessori, The Discovery of the Child
~ Maria Montessori
Children develop their brains as well as their bodies through movement, and in the process of concentration, self-discipline, and perseverance with an active interest, the foundations of character are laid.

This meeting at the easel during Adult and Toddler class is textured with layers of experiences between and within the children.
