Three to Six Year Olds

The initial stage of child development is called the absorbent mind stage. This covers ages three to six year olds. During this stage, the child primarily absorbs learning through the senses (seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting). All learning activities emerge from the use of instructional materials that enable the 3-6 year olds to use their senses as aids to learning. During this stage the child's inquiring mind gathers names and facts that explain WHAT and WHERE.
