For children aged 12 to 24 months in an early childhood environment, the following theorists align with their developmental levels:

1. Lev Vygotsky: Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory emphasises the role of social interactions and cultural influences in a child’s development, which is particularly relevant as children in this age group start to engage more with others.
2. Jean Piaget: Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, including the preoperational stage, is applicable to children aged 2 and below as they begin to develop language, symbolic play, and basic problem-solving skills.
3. Arnold Gesell: Known for his work in child development and the maturation process, Gesell’s stages of development can provide insights into the physical, social, and emotional growth of children in this age range.

These theorists offer valuable perspectives on the developmental milestones and needs of children aged 12 to 24 months in an early childhood environment.
