School age children are typically ages 6 through 11 years. Which option lists them correctly?

• A. Infants
• B. Toddlers
• C. School age child
• D. Preschooler

Answer: (C)

Understanding age-based groups in early childhood helps you pick the right descriptor. Infants are 0–12 months, toddlers are about 1–3 years, preschoolers are roughly 3–5 years, and school-age children are typically 6–11 years. Since 6–11 matches the school-age range, the appropriate label is “school age child.” The other terms refer to earlier stages and do not describe children who are in elementary school.
