This explanatory quantitative study analyzed the influence of early stimulation on oral language development in children aged 4 to 6. Validated instruments (EOET and TDLO-R) were applied to a sample of 92 children, divided between those who received stimulation and those who did not. Results showed statistically significant differences across all language dimensions, with higher performance in the stimulated group (p < .001). A positive correlation (r = 0.62) and linear regression (R² = 0.337) indicated a strong association between variables. Frequency, quality, and pedagogical intent of stimulation practices were found to be decisive. It is concluded that structured early stimulation enhances linguistic development, particularly when started before age five, and its inclusion in public policy is strongly recommended.
