From the supplier: Developmentally appropriate practice may not be applicable to all children, given their different backgrounds. An approach that considers both children's existing cultures and the ones they need to be familiar with may be more effective. Early childhood educators may also do well to reassess such issues as exclusion and inclusion, power and the lack of it as well as diversity in practice in developing curriculums and programs.
