12 PRINCIPLES OF
DAP
(Developmentally Appropriate Practice)
1. Domains of children’s development--physical, social,
emotional, and cognitive--are closely related.
• Ex. Infants learning to crawl uses all domains.
2. Development occurs in a relatively orderly sequence, with
later abilities, skills, and knowledge building on those already
acquired.
• Ex. babies need to first roll over before they can sit or crawl, and
crawling is an important developmental step to walking.
3. Development proceeds at varying rates from child to child as
well as unevenly within different areas of each child’s
functioning.
• Ex. Teacher being concerned about a preschooler’s large motor
development even though she was advanced in her fine motor
skills. Once she had accomplished what she needed to in that area
of her development, her focus shifted, and her large motor skills
quickly caught up.
4. Early experiences have both cumulative and delayed effects
on individual children’s development; optimal periods exist for
certain types of development and learning.
• Ex. Care babies receive their first years can have a lasting impact.
5. Development proceeds in predictable directions toward
greater complexity, organization, and internalization.
• Ex. most Western families encourage and reward reaching certain
developmental milestones as soon as possible, while other cultures
might do the very opposite (such as trying to delay children walking
early so they can stay safely strapped to the parent while he or she
works).
6. Development and learning occur in and are influenced by
multiple social and cultural contexts.
• Ex. Teaching young toddlers, some teachers liked to ruffle their
hair as a sign of affection. While this may have felt loving to many
children, an increased understanding of South Asian culture
helped teachers realize that it may have felt disrespectful to
children of that ethnic group.
7. Children are active learners, drawing on direct physical and
social experience as well as culturally transmitted knowledge
to construct their own understandings of the world around
them.
• Ex. Children drawing on direct and physical and social experience
as well as culturally experienced knowledge as well as the teacher
learns this from students as well.
8. Development and learning result from interaction of
biological maturation and the environment, which includes
both the physical and social worlds that children live in.
• Ex. A child may be born with the genetic capacity for high
intelligence but will not reach this biological potential if raised in a
deficient environment.
9. Play is an important vehicle for children’s social, emotional, and
cognitive development, as well as a reflection of their development.
• Ex. Play gives children opportunities to understand the world and
interact with others in social ways, express and control emotions, and
develop their symbolic capabilities.
• 10. Development advances when children have opportunities to
practice newly acquired skills as well as when they experience a
challenge just beyond the level of their present mastery.
• Ex. Children who are frustrated by a task that is too difficult can easily
become discourage and lose motivation.
11. Children demonstrate different modes of knowing and
learning and different ways of representing what they know.
• Ex. Some children fall in the different range of special needs.
12. Children develop and learn best in the context of a
community where they are safe and valued, their physical
needs are met, and they feel psychologically secure.
• Ex. Children should have at least one positive and one consistent
primary relationship to develop
