“Excuse me,” said a child to a visitor commenting in a classroom that this was the method where the children could do as they liked, “I do not know if we do as we like, but I know that we like what we do.”

Montessori's approach involves designing the environment to align with the children's developmental tendencies, which she referred to as "sensitive periods."
