Abstract

Cognitive development in children aged two to three years is a progressive and dynamic process in which stimulation activities significantly contribute to the strengthening of cognitive functions and the consolidation of early learning. In this context, the present study considers the joint participation of families and teachers involved in the Growing with Our Children program, with the aim of enhancing children's cognitive development through stimulation practices implemented in both educational and family settings. The results reveal that basic cognitive skills develop in accordance with age-related expectations, whereas executive functions are still in the process of consolidation. Furthermore, although families participate in stimulation activities, these are not always carried out systematically or with a clear pedagogical purpose. Consequently, it is concluded that early stimulation, supported by conscious and guided family involvement, constitutes a key factor in promoting cognitive development during early childhood.
