A child doesn’t process “data” in the form of a sequence of tokens. A child associates visual objects with similar traits to pronounced words, heard from their parents. It also acquires a basic feeling of temporal sequentiality and physical causality by throwing toys, for example. It learns the rules of the language grammar by subconsciously noticing the basic structure of sentences with objects, verbs and qualities.

Objects and words are tokens. At least, objects and words are not fundamental types of things. Before they are tokens, they exist only through light and sound waves that we perceive (and other sensations such as touch, smell). Our eyes and ears need to process this information before it becomes objects and words.
