Girls Height chart for Preschoolers 3 years & 11 months old

Height chart for 3 Years 11 Months girls

How tall should a 3 Years 11 Months be? Here is what the growth charts say.

Height percentiles for 3 Years 11 Months girls

Using CDC reference standards, the height percentiles for preschool girls at 3 Years 11 Months are:

• 5th percentile: 93.0 cm (3 ft 0.6 in)

• 25th percentile: 97.0 cm (3 ft 2.2 in)

• 50th percentile (median): 99.9 cm (3 ft 3.3 in)

• 75th percentile: 102.8 cm (3 ft 4.5 in)

• 95th percentile: 107.2 cm (3 ft 6.2 in)

Growth percentiles place your child's measurement on a scale from 1 to 99 relative to preschool girls. The 50th percentile represents the middle of the typical range.

What to expect at 3 Years 11 Months

Between ages 3 and 5, children typically grow 6-7 cm per year. This is a period of steady, consistent height gain in which most children maintain their percentile channel from infancy. Genetics is the primary determinant of height at this stage, though adequate nutrition, sleep (10-13 hours per night), and freedom from chronic illness all support healthy linear growth.

Best practice for home measurement

Height in the toddler and preschool years is best tracked by measuring every 6-12 months in the same conditions - ideally in the morning, without shoes, standing straight against a wall with heels touching the surface. Record each measurement with the date. Small variations between different measurers or times of day are normal.

Key growth indicators to watch

A child at the 25th percentile who stays at the 25th percentile is growing normally. A child who was at the 50th and has dropped to the 5th over 12 months warrants GP review. Chronic illness, nutritional deficiency, or prolonged stress can impair linear growth. Regular check-ups remain the most reliable way to identify any concerns early.

Frequently asked questions

What is a normal height for this age?

The percentile table on this page shows the full range of typical heights. All values from the 5th to the 95th percentile are considered within normal limits. Height at a single point in time is less informative than a consistent pattern of growth over months and years.

Why is my child shorter or taller than their classmates?

Variation in height between children of the same age reflects differences in genetics, timing of puberty, nutrition, and general health - all of which are entirely normal. Children often go through growth spurts at different times, which can widen apparent differences temporarily before other children catch up.

How much does a child grow per year at this age?

Most school-age children grow approximately 5-6 cm per year between ages 5 and 10. During puberty, the growth rate accelerates to 7-10 cm per year at the peak of the spurt before slowing again. A growth rate below 4 cm per year in a school-age child outside of puberty is worth discussing with a GP.

Data sources and methodology

The percentile ranges on this page are drawn from CDC growth chart data from the National Center for Health Statistics and WHO Child Growth Standards (for children under 5). CDC data published May 30, 2000, with 2022 extended BMI tables. Percentiles are modelled using the LMS method (Box-Cox transformation), which accounts for the skewed distribution of measurements at each age. All measurements are given in metric units with imperial equivalents.
