When my older two kids (now 9 and almost 8) were little a preschooler was about 3-4 the age of just before kindergarten. Under 3 was a toddler. My 2 1/2 year old is now being labeled a preschooler. What the heck!?! Yes she talks very well. but this seems to be the new general age bracket. Is it just me or is pushing a 2 yo to a preschooler going to far?

I agree completely with the question..and dillema weather a child is still a child or should it have duties. Sometimes I think we take alot from their childhood. I think we played more and we were much more free and childish for a longer time...

I agree, people keep asking if I'm going to send my son to school in the fall. We are going to wait until he is four. Although we have plenty of friends who have started preschool at 2 1/2. It seems in todays world children are having less and less of a childhood .

thats what i thought to. But when i put her on the waiting list for child care they said she's over 2 she goes to the preschool class not the day care. Even the pediatrician has called her a preschooler, and I see it packaging labels too. Gerber has a new kid meal out "just for preschoolers" and the age in small writing in 2+.
I worry that letting her go into a preschool class will be pushing her too much instead of letting her just be a kid. I dont want her sitting at a table learning to do lessons.

i always thought a perschooler was about 3 and a half to around 5, depending on the child ofcourse.
