Theories serve as a guide for assessing the developmental levels of children.

Theory provides direction for program structure.

Theories can serve as a bridge between different cultural views of education.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Four conditions for learning and supporting descriptions are:

Learning needs a good stage: Care for childrens health, emotional and mental, as well as physical; arrange the environment carefully; plan a sequential schedule with flexibility; interact with children and adults respectfully and clearly.
