From the supplier: The principles outlined by the National Assn for the Education of Young Children for developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) for young children from infancy through age eight are inappropriate because they do not provide allowances for alternative viewpoints. The guidelines are based on certain assumptions and promotes the adoption of general concepts and principles, which may not be applicable to everyone. Professional growth may be more effective when educators are presented with varying viewpoints and innovative ways of getting things done.
