Why Language Development Matters
Language development is how toddlers learn to understand and use words to express thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Strong language skills in early years help your child succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. At Susy's Family Childcare, we understand that every conversation, story, and interaction shapes your toddler's language growth.
Stages of Language Development
Understanding these stages helps us support your child effectively:
Pre-linguistic Stage (0-12 months) : Infants explore sounds through cooing and babbling, preparing their minds for language. We provide constant, responsive interactions that set the stage for strong speech development.
One-word Stage (12-18 months) Toddlers use single words to express complete thoughts. At Susy's, we encourage simple conversations and recognize early words, celebrating every linguistic milestone.
Two-word Stage (18-24 months) Your child begins combining words to create meaning. Our caregivers engage toddlers in everyday conversations, helping them build vocabulary naturally.
Telegraphic Stage (24-30 months) Short phrases emerge. Through structured play and guided activities, we support your child’s ability to form clear, meaningful sentences.
Multi-word Stage (30+ months) Toddlers start speaking longer, detailed sentences. We foster language skills with interactive storytelling, songs, and cooperative games.
