Children are born learners, but for them to actually learn and develop optimally requires us to provide them with care and education of the highest quality. Developmentally appropriate practice is a term that has come to be used within the profession to describe the complex and rewarding work done by excellent early childhood educators.  These sessions on DAP will cover the joy of learning, achievement gaps, intentionality and effectiveness, cultural competency, continuity and change.
