"I am delighted with Basics of Developmentally Appropriate Practice! It is a practical and easy-to-read guide for beginners and also wonderful for experienced practitioners trying to be more responsive to the children they teach. I appreciate the great examples, which make the concepts come to life, and the FAQ section clears up some major misconceptions. The book is a welcome contribution to the tools we have for improving the knowledge and skills of teachers of young children." —Eva Moravcik, associate professor at Honolulu Community College
