What age is considered a preschooler?
First of all, what is considered a preschooler? A preschooler is a toddler that is not yet old enough to officially go to school, but they can go to preschool or pre-k. Typically they are from 3 years of age to 5 years of age.
Preschoolers are little sponges and eager to learn new things. They are also starting to understand how to manage their big emotions. The best gifts for them are the ones that promote development like using their fine motor skills or encouraging pretend play and helping them express emotions.
What are preschoolers learning?
In preschool kids will develop important social skills, learn to write their name, recognize letters, numbers, colors, and shapes.
This will most likely be their first experience in a classroom environment. This will also be the first time they are taught how to behave in the classroom or an environment away from their parents.
I was terrified when my daughter first started preschool. It turned out I was way more scared than she was. She loves school and enjoys learning new things. I am about to fill out an application for my son to now start preschool in the upcoming school year.
I’m sure I will go through all the same scared emotions I was feeling with my daughter when my son starts too. I want him to be as prepared as possible for becoming a preschooler.
The following gifts are perfect for preparing a toddler for preschool. These gifts are also favorites of a child that may currently be a preschooler.
