Preschool-age children are typically in which age range?

• A. 2 to 3 years.
• B. 3 to 5 years.
• C. 5 to 7 years.
• D. 6 to 8 years.

Answer: (B)

Preschool-age children are typically between three and five years old. This period sits between toddlerhood and starting formal schooling, with many children attending preschool programs and entering kindergarten around ages five to six. Developmentally, kids in this range show rapid growth in language, social interaction, and self-care skills, along with more complex play and better ability to follow routines. The other ranges fit different stages: two to three years is the toddler phase, five to seven years marks early school-age as children begin more structured learning, and six to eight years is solidly in early school-age.
