The Domains of Early Childhood Development

Cognitive

Young children develop their understanding and abilities in such areas as math, science, language, and art through both structured and unstructured activities, play, and interactions. The mind of a young child soaks up information like a sponge.

Physical

Both gross- and fine-motor skills are part of every day at the CDC. Time outside is spent running, climbing, and being physical, while class-time activities like cutting, writing, threading, and art projects develop fine-motor skills.

Social

Understanding how to communicate, share, make friends, and get along with others are all integral parts of social development in the first five years of life.

Emotional

Young children are learning how to manage and appropriately express their own emotions such as fear, sadness, anger, and happiness every day. These important skills are the foundation of your child's self-confidence and a positive self-esteem.
