Developmentally appropriate practice is based on a vision of preparing students for a changing society and the idea that children learn through active experiences. It emphasizes understanding each child's unique characteristics, interests, and developmental level. Early childhood curriculum includes social interaction, exploration of materials and equipment, and arrangement of spaces to promote learning. Guidelines help ensure the curriculum is appropriate to children's developmental levels, respects individual differences, and is meaningful and inclusive. When planning curriculum, teachers should consider children's interests and developmental needs, desired learning outcomes, and how to support all domains of learning in a way that fits each child.
