In this episode you will learn:

- Object permanence is a key milestone in the Sensorimotor stage, tested by your ability to plan activities like peek-a-boo.

- The Preoperational stage is defined by symbolic thought, which is why dramatic play is a critical learning tool for preschoolers.

- Egocentrism in young children is a cognitive limitation, not a behavioral flaw; your role is to model perspective-taking.

- Preschoolers lack conservation, meaning they judge quantity by appearance, a crucial concept for managing classroom materials and snacks.

- The CDA exam will test your application of Piaget's theory through scenario-based questions, not just rote memorization of stage names.
