Enhance the depth and richness of children's play. Developmentally appropriate play is complex, long-lasting, and all-engaging for children. It requires facilitation and guidance, thoughtful planning, and attention to the environment and materials. Developmentally Appropriate Play follows the new Developmentally Appropriate Practice guidelines from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and includes information to help you: * Identify and plan purposeful play * Guide children to make choices * Interact with children to enhance play * Provoke children into more complex play * Add representation to further enrich play * Incorporate standards into play
