Morphology
The meaning is directly and predictably derived from combining 'early' (initial stages) with 'childhood' (the stage before adolescence); a learner who knows both words will infer it refers to the initial years of childhood. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows normal adjective+noun semantics, so a B1 learner would understand the phrase without prior exposure.
Etymology
Early childhood gives a clear picture: early means the first part and childhood the years of being a child. It is like the first chapters of life when a child's skills and habits grow fast, so the phrase means the 'first years' when most growth happens.
