🕊️ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that peace is not merely the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice, understanding, and compassion. In Montessori education, peace is nurtured every day—through respect for the child, grace and courtesy, community responsibility, and opportunities to practice empathy and cooperation. ♥️
On this day, we honor Dr. King’s legacy by CONTINUING the work of peace education: helping children develop a strong sense of self, care for others, and responsibility for the world around them. When children feel seen, valued, and capable, they grow into adults who lead with kindness, courage, and justice. ☮️
