There is no schedule or timetable for how all children should grow. In fact, there is a huge amount of variance in the pace that each child develops at.

Pre-primary education refers to the stage of education before primary school for children.
"Pre-primary is an important stage which lays the foundation for life-long learning and whole person development, and serves as the starting point of formal education. It articulates with primary, secondary and tertiary education to form an entire spectrum of education." (The Guide to the Pre-primary Curriculum, endorsed by the Curriculum Development Council of Hong Kong).
