Nowadays it has been demonstrated that the stimulation of the child during these stages constitutes a crucial process in his evolution, in the biological, psychological and social aspects. As the child grows so do his abilities, and therefore a clear need to keep them in constant interaction and potential for their further development lead in an adequate adaptation to situations he must face. For that reason it is a need that is not the mere whim of a society that is constantly evolving, it is a reality that has been working ever since and its results have been t both quantitatively and qualitatively. Numerous studies show that non stimulated children have lower academic performance in relation to those who have received an adequate stimulation. However, alarming data has been found showing lack of stimulation in children of these ages, this fact can cause a delay in any development areas. For the development of certain cognitive elements and maturity in children, it is necessary to provide them opportunities to potentiate their abilities and skills so that they can achieve a healthy development and the formation of higher cognitive processes, as well as the reach of goals.ResumenHoy día es evidente que la estimulación del niño constituye un proceso crucial para su evolución en las dimensiones biológica, psicológica y social. A medida que avanza el crecimiento del niño lo hacen también sus capacidades, y por lo tanto resulta imprescindible mantenerlasen constante interacción y estimular su potencialidad para que su desarrollo conlleve en lo posterior una adecuada adaptación a situaciones que deberá enfrentar. Se trata así de una necesidadque trasciende el simple capricho de una sociedad en constante evolución. Numerosas investigaciones han demostrado que los niños no estimulados tienen menores rendimientos escolares en relación con aquellos que han recibido una adecuada estimulación. No obstanteello, se han encontrado datos alarmantes que demuestran la falta de la misma en la infancia temprana, lo cual puede condicionar un retraso en cualquiera de las áreas de desarrollo.
