At Casvi, we understand that early stimulation is essential for the integral development of children from their first years of life. For this reason, we have implemented a specialized program that seeks to enhance the cognitive, physical, emotional and social skills of the little ones.
Benefits of early stimulation
1. Cognitive development
Early stimulation in the cognitive area helps children to improve their thinking and reasoning skills. From an early age, children are exposed to activities that stimulate curiosity, problem-solving and critical thinking. Dr. Benjamin Spock highlights the importance of early stimulation in the cognitive development of preschoolers. This means:
- Better memory and attention: Stimulation activities encourage children to develop more active memory and concentration, which lays the foundation for future learning.
- Logical reasoning: Through age-appropriate building games, puzzles, and challenges, children learn to identify patterns and develop logic.
- Creativity stimulation: Activities such as art and free play allow children to explore ideas and express themselves, helping them to develop creative and original thinking.
2. Motor skills
Early stimulation contributes to the development of motor skills, both fine and gross, which are essential for coordination and body control. Some of the specific advantages are:
- Gross motor skills: Activities such as running, jumping, and dancing help improve balance and overall coordination. These exercises allow children to explore their environment and improve their relationship with space.
- Fine motor skills: Games and activities that involve the use of the hands, such as drawing, modeling play dough, or stacking blocks, fortify the small muscles of the hands and fingers, facilitating important skills such as using utensils and writing in the future.
3. Emotional and social development
Interaction in an early stimulation environment helps children get to know themselves and relate to others in healthy ways. Some of the benefits in this area include:
- Emotional management: Early stimulation helps children recognize and express their emotions appropriately. Through role-playing and guided activities, children learn to identify feelings such as joy, sadness, frustration and empathy.
- Building self-esteem: By encouraging exploration and achievement of simple goals, children build a positive self-image and feel more confident in their abilities.
- Social skills: Interacting with other children in group activities teaches them to share, collaborate, and resolve conflicts. This is key to building healthy relationships in the future and strengthening your sense of community.
4. Language Development and Communication Skills: Early Stimulation
In the Cognifit article “How to Develop Cognitive Skills in Children,“ Dr De Souza highlights that early stimulation, through recreational and educational activities, promotes cognitive development and fundamental communicative skills that will impact the academic and social life of children.
- Verbal expression: Through the use of stories, songs, and word games, children begin to enrich their vocabulary and improve their pronunciation. This allows them to express ideas and emotions more clearly and effectively.
- Comprehension and active listening: Exposure to stories and dialogue helps children develop listening skills, which is critical for learning. They learn to understand complex ideas and answer questions, which promotes social interaction.
- Preschool skills: Stimulation exercises include activities that lay the groundwork for reading and writing, such as recognizing sounds, letters, and words. This facilitates a smoother transition to formal learning in school.
