Some early learning concepts

How Language develops in toddlers?

From birth on, humans are programmed to develop speech and language. The first five years are the most important. However, language development continues throughout early childhood and into adolescence. During the first five years, stimulation of language development is essential as the brain is developing new nerve cells as well as multiple connections between these cells to serve the function of expressive and receptive language. Visual cues, prompts, expressing different shapes and sizes, social interaction with kids & adults are all ways through which kids learn to express themselves.

This learning happens from watching and experiencing numeracy in action, especially in everyday play and activities – Asking for 3 sweets, counting fingers, counting friends, asking five more spoons – All these activities help them comprehend numeracy

There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling for children than to be able to express themselves openly and without judgment.

The experiences children have during their first years of life can significantly enhance the development of their creativity.
