- Adults serve as facilitators within the space
- Adults articulate the intention behind their words and actions
- Adults are familiar with current research and the key contributions of historical child development theorists
- Adults are aware of the importance of keeping it real
- Children are provided time and opportunity to create, move, sing, discuss, observe, read, and play every day
