I also think "3" but E starts the 3's room in Jan at 32 months, so I've been calling it preschool even though she'll be a little young

I'm going with 3. The curriculum and expectations changed a lot from his 2 year old room to his 3 year room. In our daycare center's literature, they say that they're preparing for kindergarten and the social experience of it. Now, if we can find the same experience for him in our new neighborhood, that would be awesome.

@daniellemybelle: At the daycare I worked at toddlers transitioned into the pre-school room in between 2.5 and 3.

When they start preschool? Lol. I don't think of preschooler as an age descriptor like toddler. In my area kids qualify for preschool at 2.5 years old, but I know it's different everywhere. I wouldn't call my kid a preschooler until he's in preschool. 1-4 = toddler. Younger toddler, older toddler, preschooler toddler, etc.

Somewhere between 2 and 3.

@daniellemybelle: oh yeah a 5 year old is not a toddler! In my mind, it's between 1 and 4 years old. This is an interesting conversation, though!
