    Preschoolers between ages 3 to 5 experience significant development in their language, social, cognitive, and physical skills. Their language abilities progress from speaking 250-500 words at age 3 to using compound and complex sentences by age 5. Socially, they start imitating others at age 3 but become more independent by age 5. Cognitively, preschoolers ask more questions and develop stronger imagination and math skills. Physically, they learn new gross motor skills like hopping and swimming. Preschoolers at this age benefit from associative play, may regress during development, and are highly curious and imaginative.
