Does this mean that all players win? What happens if one doesn't win? What makes a good "loser" player?

No, not everyone would win but at times all players may give one player a chance to participate on their the appropriate developmental level. A good loser is a person who doesn't care if they win or not but is always ready for another game!

A player may not be the technical winner of the overall game, but I feel that if they have learned something from the experience, they have something to celebrate.

I know that my kindergartner has a tough time with the concept of just playing. They say that it's appropriate for this age to want to be the first or nothing; truly though something well done is a good enough reason to celebrate.
