Equitable and Joyful Learning with Infants and Toddlers

About this book

What Does Developmentally Appropriate Practice Look Like in an Infant and Toddler Program?

If you’ve ever wondered how effective teachers actually do DAP with very young children, this is the book for you. Here, you can peek into classrooms to see teachers making intentional decisions in key areas of practice. These areas form the six guidelines for DAP in action:

1. Building a community where everyone is welcomed and supported to grow 2. Facilitating reciprocal partnerships with families 3. Observing, assessing, and documenting children’s development and learning 4. Using teaching strategies that enhance learning for each child 5. Implementing curriculum tied to meaningful learning goals 6. Demonstrating professionalism

You’ll discover

  • More about what each guideline means for working with infants and toddlers and their families
  • Chapters that showcase articles from Young Children and NAEYC book excerpts—plus brand-new content—illustrating excellent teaching strategies related to each guideline
  • Examples you can model, adapt, and implement in your own practice

Enrich and deepen your teaching, and enable children’s learning to flourish!
