Developmentally Appropriate Practice in the 21st Century
Developmentally appropriate practice—often shortened to DAP—is an approach to teaching grounded both in the research on how young children develop and learn and in what is known about education effectiveness. Its framework is designed to promote young children’s optimal learning and development.
