“I am not a teacher…we do not teach in Montessori…we INSPIRE!” Larry Schaefer founder of Lake Country Montessori

I recently sat in on a talk by Pat and Larry Schaefer who are pioneers of Montessori education in the United States. In a room of 60 or so parents of children at Sunny Hollow Montessori school, I found myself brought to tears by their talk, by their inspiration. At seventy eight years young they are still spending every day in a class room. They inspire! They have spent their life inspiring young people.

I walked away from that talk inspired. Live your life inspired and inspiring others…I can see from the evidence Pat and Larry leave…it creates a life worth living.
