  9. Principle #1All domains of development and learning are important and they are closely interrelated.

  10. Principle #2Aspects of children’s learning follow well documented sequences.

  11. Principal #3 Development and learning proceed at different rates

  12. Principle #4 Development and learning result from interaction of biological maturation and experience

  13. Principle #5Early experiences have a profound effects on development and learning AND optimal periods exist for certain types of development and learning.

  14. Principle #6Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, and symbolic or representational capacities
