Infancy and Early Childhood

Infancy and early childhood are key developmental stages from birth to around age six. Infancy covers birth to about one year, marked by rapid physical growth, sensory exploration, and foundational emotional bonds. Early childhood, from ages one to six, involves further physical development, language acquisition, increased independence, and social skills as children learn to interact with others and their environment. These stages are crucial for cognitive, emotional, and physical milestones that shape overall growth and future learning.
