The program is designed to be developmentally appropriate. The concept developmental appropriateness includes both age and individual appropriateness. Teachers use knowledge about age appropriateness to identify the range of behaviors activities and materials for a specific age group. This knowledge is used in conjunction with the understanding about individual children’s growth patterns strengths interests and experiences (individual appropriateness) to design the most appropriate learning environment.
Children’s play is essential for growth. Play serves important functions in cognitive development as well as in children’s physical emotional and social development. Child-initiated child-directed teacher-supported play is an essential part of the MCCYC program.
