If you’ve been in early childhood education for longer than a few months, odds are that you’ve heard the term: 'developmentally appropriate'.
But what exactly is a developmentally appropriate practice in education?
Developmentally appropriate practice, or DAP, is a set of principles and corresponding activities designed to create an optimal learning path for young children.
One of the main focuses of DAP is to recognize the lasting impact of early childhood experiences in every person’s life and make sure every child is developing in accordance with their unique abilities, social and cultural background, level of knowledge, and other characteristics.
