Learn English – word for children under 10 years old

single-word-requests

I am looking for the counterpart of the term "teenager" for those who are younger than 10 years old. A single word that means something like "elementary school student" is helpful as well.

I don't think you're going to find a single word--if there were one, education departments would use it. Across New York State Education Department documents, students in elementary school (usually kindergarten through 5th or 6th grade, depending on the district) are referred to as "elementary students."
