What ages are early childhood?

Early childhood typically refers to the ages of 2 to 6 years old.

This period is characterized by significant growth and development in various areas such as:

* Physical: Gross and fine motor skills develop rapidly, including running, jumping, drawing, and dressing themselves.

* Cognitive: Children begin to understand basic concepts like numbers, colors, shapes, and language.

* Social and Emotional: They learn to interact with others, develop empathy, and understand social norms.

While some sources may include ages 1-2 in early childhood, it's generally considered the transitional period between infancy and early childhood.
