STAGE 010–12 Months

Infants (0–12 Months)

Developmental Focus for Parents:

Sensory stimulation, grasping, cause-and-effect, and tummy time.

In the first year, babies learn about the world primarily through their senses and physical touch. High-contrast cloth books, soft silicone rattles, musical kick mats, and gentle stacking rings build head/neck strength during tummy time, hand-eye coordination, and early auditory tracking.

Core Skills Developed in this Stage:

Visual Tracking & High-Contrast Awakening
Grasping Reflex to Intentional Hand Release
Cause-and-Effect Discovery (Shaking, Patting, Dropping)
Tummy Time Endurance & Core Muscle Strengthening
