The child needs wider boundaries for his experiences…It is necessary for us to provide him with culture and to enlarge his social experience…When the child goes out, it is the world itself that offers itself to him.  Let us take the child out to show him real things.
— Maria Montessori, From Childhood to Adolescence.
