Cognitive Development & Learning | The First 3 Years

Birth to 3 Months

In the first few months of life, your child will start to focus on moving objects, following them through eye and head movement. They can also differentiate tastes, notice different pitches and volumes, detect colors, and make facial expressions. 

 
Three to 6 Months 

After three months of age, babies will start to perceive their world with a higher level of intelligence. They can recognize people, respond to facial expressions, react to sounds, and mirror facial expressions and sounds.

 
Six to 9 Months

Babies between six and nine months old can recognize the difference between animate and inanimate objects. They can also tell the difference between two dissimilar images (numbers and animals, for example). Depth perception is practiced during this stage; babies notice the relative size of something to determine how far it is.

 
Nine to 12 Months 

During this period, babies start to learn object permanence – the fact that things still exist even though they aren’t in sight. Some babies may develop separation anxiety during this stage and get distressed when their caregiver is not in sight. Babies will also start to make basic gestures and actions, manipulate objects, and enjoy looking at picture books and turning pages.

 
One to 2 Years 

After a child turns one, they begin to understand and respond to people who are speaking. They can play “matching games and pick out images/objects that are the same or different. Children between one and two understand the difference between themselves “me” and others “you.” They can also recognize familiar things in their surroundings and books. Generally, they learn the most through imitation and exploration. Their curiosity is at an all-time high!

 
Two to 3 Years 

Once a toddler reaches two years old, they start to become independent. They’re mobile and able to explore their little universe. Most of their learning is a result of their personal experiences. The milestones in this period will be different for every child, but generally, you can expect:

  • Sorting objects by category (animals, shapes, numbers, flowers, trees, etc.
  • Stacking toys by size
  • Responding to simple directions from caregivers
  • Naming familiar objects in a picture book
  • Matching objects
  • Copying more complex adult actions
  • Playing “pretend” (“house,” talking on the phone, pretending to be a waiter or a doctor, etc.)
  • Identifying their reflection in a mirror
  • Saying their name
