    Introduction to Strategies to Support Cognitive Development in Group Care

    Cognitive development refers to the increasing efficiency and ability of the mental processes associated with perception, knowledge, problem solving, judgment, language, and memory. When infants and toddlers are actively engaged with the physical and social world, they reveal their developing cognitive abilities. To support their developing cognition, caregivers can create safe and stimulating environments with age appropriate materials that invite engagement and exploration while interacting with them in language-rich ways. This section will present various strategies to create environments and interactions that optimally support the cognitive development of infants and toddlers. [1]
