developmentally supportive practices

Developmentally supportive practices are teaching methods that recognize and adapt to how children grow and learn naturally. They focus on creating safe, engaging environments that respect a child's individual pace, interests, and developmental stage. These practices promote active learning through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions, helping children develop social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills. The goal is to foster a child's confidence and curiosity, supporting their overall growth in a way that feels natural and respectful of their unique development journey.
