Analysis Of Infancy, Daycare, And Piaget: Cognitive Development
Infancy, Daycare and Piaget: Cognitive Development
The first stage of Piaget’s theory of sensorimotor development is Sensorimotor. In this stage there are six substages. The six substages in order are, simple reflexes (First month), first habits and primary circular reactions (1 to 4 months), secondary circular reactions (4 to 8 months), coordination of secondary circular reactions (8 to 12 months), tertiary circular reactions (12 to 18 months), and beginnings of thought (18 to 2 years). Each substage has a specific developmental factor that the baby/toddler goes through. This is what makes Piaget’s theory of sensorimotor development so important to include in an infant day care.

This is the substage that babies between the ages of 1 to 4 moths begin to combine ideas together. During this substage I would make sure that the activities I chose grabbed babies attention. If I pick activates that grab their attention they will build schemes and they will repeat the activity. Activities that I do are giving the baby’s toys that would make noises when you push a button. During this substage I would basically do the same decor as the first substage but I would bring in more interactive toys.
The third substage is secondary circular reactions which occurs 4 to 8 months. This substage is when babies begin to act on their surroundings and modify their cognitive schemes. This is also when babies begin to coo. For this substage I would add activates that included toys that make noises, and are interactive, however I would still have to guide them with playing with these interactive toys. Also during this substage I would encourage cooing with things that would catch their …show more content…
This substage occurs during 8 to 12 months and is when they become more interactive with their environment. This is also the substage where babies develop goal-directed behavior. Goal-directed behavior is when more than two schemes combine to solve a problem. During this substage I would provide activity cubes that would have buttons that can be pushed, slid, and turned. I would also make sure I would let go of the reins a little bit because they would now be able to move more freely without someone holding them or carrying them.
The fifth substage is tertiary circular reactions which occurs from 12 months to 18 months. During this substage babies begin to wonder. They begin to think about what might happen if they change something. During this stage I would make sure there are things that the children were able to drop. An activity that I might include is dropping a ball at different heights or have the children hit various size pots. This way they are able to text what might happen if they did something different. The décor in this stage would consist of centers that are filled with colors and things that they can text and
