Toddlers are typically in which age range?

• A. 1-3 years
• B. 3-5 years
• C. 5-7 years
• D. 7-9 years

Answer: (A)

Toddlers are in the stage after infancy when mobility and independence are rapidly developing. This period is typically from about one to three years old. That’s why the one-to-three-year range best fits being a toddler. The next stage, preschool, usually spans roughly three to five years, and ages five to seven or seven to nine fall into later childhood. So the 1–3 year range correctly identifies the toddler years.
