Developmentally Appropriate ActivitiesDevelopmentally Appropriate Activities

Does the activity: Allow children to participate at their own level? Allow for flexibility, with no “right” or “wrong” outcome? Encourage active learning through participation? Encourage exploration and thinking? Allow for socialization and interaction with others? Enable children to learn through their senses? Allow children to experience things “hands-on”? Give children choices? Foster children’s positive feelings about themselves? Respect individual differences and cultural diversity? Lend itself to being adapted if beneficial? Acknowledge the physical needs of children? Reflect the goals and philosophy of the center?
