Note: Please provide appropriate supervision to the children in your care when completing all activities. You will need to decide what types of activities are safe for the children in your care. Appropriate and reasonable caution should be used when providing art and sensory experiences for children.

Infants require special caution, only use non-toxic materials, and do not allow infants to put things in their mouths that are a choking hazard.

Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum for Preschoolers

NAEYC's Statement on DAP with Preschoolers
Preschool children learn best when they have positive and caring relationships with adults and other children; when they receive carefully planned, intentional guidance and assistance; and when they can safely encounter and explore many interesting things in their environment.

Children enter preschool with different strengths. One child might love picture books and already know lots of letters but have trouble  with social interaction. A classmate may find it easy to initiate play and share toys yet have almost no experience with books and reading.
Picture
Preschoolers
  • thrive when they can experience new materials, roles, ideas, and activities—especially in pretend play;
  • take great interest in feelings and become better able to express their emotions and identify those of others;
  • make important cognitive gains that invite them to represent their world in pretend play, symbols, objects, drawings, and words; and
  • show astonishing gains in language skills.
