Early childhood is the period from birth to the age of six of a child's life, and such a period is fundamental for a person's development. Children go through essential processes such as physical growth, brain maturation, acquisition of motor skills, development of learning capacity, and social and affective initiation.
Scientific evidence shows that the brain develops rapidly in the early years of life and is very sensitive to the care and experiences to which a child is exposed. Healthy integral development in early childhood contributes to the achievement of each person's potential throughout life, positively influencing academic performance and personal, vocational, and economic achievements.
