Children are like tiny flowers: They are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of peers.
Friedrich Frobel
Kids are analogous to exquisite blooms: Every one is unique and demands attention, but each shines alone and becomes even more spectacular when among its kindred.

To learn a thing in life and through doing is much more developing, cultivating, and strengthening than to learn it merely through the verbal communication of ideas.
Friedrich Frobel
To gain a skill in life and through practice is much more enriching, nurturing, and empowering than to merely acquire it through the spoken transmission of concepts.

The mind grows by self revelation. In play the child ascertains what he can do, discovers his possibilities of will and thought by exerting his power spontaneously. In work he follows a task prescribed for him by another, and doesn't reveal his own proclivities and inclinations; but another's. In play he reveals his own original power.

Children must master the language of things before they master the language of words.

Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in a childs soul.”• “Play is the highest level of child development . . . It gives . . . joy, freedom, contentment, inner and outer rest, peace with the world . . .

Let us protect our children; and let us not allow them to grow up into emptiness and nothingness, to the avoidance of good hard work, to introspection and analysis without deeds, or to mechanical actions without thought and consideration. Let us steer them away from the harmful chase after material things and the damaging passion for distractions... Let us educate them to stand with their feet rooted in God's earth, but with their heads reaching even into heaven, there to behold truth.
Friedrich Frobel

If humans are to fully attain their destinies, so far as earthly development permits this; if they are to become truly whole, unbroken units, they must feel and know themselves to be one, not only with God and humanity, but also with nature.
Friedrich Frobel
