When education is developmentally appropriate, it engages children mind, body and soul in the educational process, facilitating lasting organic learning and fostering happiness in the child’s heart. It enables children not just to learn but also to learn to learn, thus transforming life into an unending journey of discovery, happiness and fulfilment. We therefore see developmental appropriateness of the content and process of education as key to enabling each child's development into a happy, purposeful adult.
