A 4 year old is a pre schooler and unless medical related should be potty trained. Teachers at school will not be changing diapers, again, unless there is a medical condition.

1-2 toddler 3-4 preschool. My daughter started school at 3.
Infant until 18 months, toddler 18 months till 2 1/2 years old , preschooler at 2 1/2 -5 years old 
(I work in a daycare and this is what ours is).
Once they start walking they are toddlers until 4
1-2 is a toddler as they are literally toddling around finding their feet. 3-4 is preschool xx
1 to 3 toddler , 4 preschool and k5 is child aged. At 5 they start to look more like a child rather than a toddler or baby. I worked in pre k and most 4 yr old are not completely potty trained. They still have accidents. We use pullups that the facility bought .potty training has nothing to do w being a toddler. It’s their cognitive abilities that sets them apart from a toddler.

I don’t consider my 4 year old a toddler she is very capable, independent, potty trained, knowledgeable, and mature for her age. No way I’d compare her to the toddler she once was.

I consider it a preschooler
My pediatrician said 1-3 year is a toddler and 3-5 years is a preschooler. My son is 5 and on his last year of preschool. You really can’t put titles on kids anymore because they all grow at there own pace. Every kid is different, never compare.

I think the real issue here is that his 4-year-old isn’t potty trained… unless there is some sort of developmental delay, that’s way too old to be potty training.

I have been teaching preschool for over 18 years, hv a associates in early childhood development, at 4 they are not a toddler anymore. I even had some 3 year olds in my preschool class. But by 4 they are definitely not considered toddler even if they are not potty trained or behind development.

4 is definitely not a toddler stage anymore. They become little tweenagers. LOL!
From a medical stand point the stages are infant 0-1, toddler stage is 1-3, preschool 3-5, school age 6-12, adolescent 13-18, young adult 19-40, middle aged 41-65 and older adult 65+🤷♀️
but I usually say newborn for the first month, infant for like 5mon, and then baby up until 2 
then I rock toddler from 2 until their 4th birthday then little kid 4-6, big kid 7-9, preteen 10-12 and teen 13-17. Some times my little kid category is more 4-8 and my big kid category is 9-13, just depends on the dynamic of the current groups I am referring too

As a former childcare worker, under 12 months is an infant, one to two years is a toddler, three to four years is a preschooler. A four year old is NOT a toddler regardless of if he’s potty trained or not.

I think 4 is technically pre-schooler. But the not being potty trained definitely leads me to want to keep him in the toddler category as well.

They change from toddler to “big kid” when they turn 5 years old… a 4 year old, even if potty trained, is still a toddler… imho

4 is not a toddle they are pre schoolers
A toddler is like 1.5-3/4, so if your son is just turned 4, he’s growing out of the toddler phase and into school aged at 4/5…once old enough for school, they aren’t toddlers and 4 is pre school aged. I’m on the fence, so many aspects would make my decision.

My grandson is four and potty trained . I call him my big boy
4 year olds are considered “preschool” aged, not toddler aged
4 yrs are preschoolers. Potty training status doesn’t change their age classifications at all.

My middle child is 3 (turned in September) I don’t consider her a toddler because of how she acts. My youngest is a year and 4 months so he is a toddler and my oldest is 6 and havent considered him a toddler in a long long time. I thing it depends on alot
How freaking important is it!!!

Unfortunately I can sympathize with the 4 year old not being potty trained. Some kids face big learning curves and intellectual disorders that make it hard to teach/learn to use the toilet. My son has ADHD/Autism/ODD and he was almost 5 before he was fully potty trained and even now at 7 he still battles frequent accidents (moreso at night)
Toddler means kids that are toddling…as in learning to walk or a new walker. 4 is definitely not a toddler, that’s a preschooler.
That being said, I see lots of pretty opinionated people about the potty training of a child who isn’t theirs and they know nothing about. So e kids don’t take to potty training as easily as others, every kid is different and sitting here saying what the child should or shouldn’t be doing is pathetic.
My 3 year old can read and spell completely, does yours? Well they should because mine does.
See how ridiculous that sounds?

I’d say until 3 but it’s really not something to debate over.
Hey my great grandson was way potted trained by 2 now 5 I call him little man 
Toddle on their feet or walk…? Walker’s are kids.
Why is this even an argument? 
Why are you debating something you can Google

Isnt it basically until they walk regularly? Like 3 or so they stop being a toddler. The word itself is toddle, meaning to almost fall over

I always went by basic child care daycare centers as they grow out of the room and move onto the next stage.
At a daycare center they are teddy bear infants until they crawl- then a rainbow till walking- then a jellybean until pre-k- then grasshoppers ready for school!! A toddler is Considered the crawling and walking and skills building stage and goes to about 4-5 when they are transitioning for school!
3 and under are toddlers.
