History
Developmentally Appropriate Practice(or DAP)
Developmentally appropriate practice, often shortened to DAP, is an approach to teaching grounded in the research on how young children develop and learn and in what is known about effective early education. Its framework is designed to promote young children’s optimal learning and development.
DAP involves teachers meeting young children where they are (by stage of development), both as individuals and as part of a group; and helping each child meet challenging and achievable learning goals. See http://www.naeyc.org/DAP.
DAP is a perspective within early childhood education whereby a teacher or child caregiver nurtures a child's social/emotional, physical, and cognitive development by basing all practices and decisions on:
(1) Theories of child development,
(2) Individually identified strengths and needs of each child uncovered through authentic assessment, and
(3) The child's cultural background as defined by his community, family history, and family structure.
Child's Place Developmentally Appropriate Program School, Inc. was established to meet the needs of its clientele of offering a different approach in rearing their children. The school believes that it could give a wide variety of benefits to young children where they could find learning a truly enjoyable and challenging experience.
