What age range is typically referred to as the "preschool years"?

  1. 3 - 5 years

  2. 4 - 6 years

  3. 4 - 5 years

  4. 2 - 6 years

The correct answer is: 4 - 6 years

The age range typically referred to as the "preschool years" is generally recognized as 3 to 5 years. During this formative period, children engage in critical developmental milestones, including social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth, all of which are foundational to their later educational experiences. While the option indicating 4 to 6 years may seem plausible, it slightly extends the preschool label, as the traditional preschool curriculum usually targets children who are 3 to 5 years old. This timeframe prepares children for the transition into more formal schooling, emphasizing learning through play and structured activities designed to enhance development.
