The second sentence is better. You do not say "between this to that" you say "between this and that"

FROM the ages of 3 TO 7.
BETWEEN the ages of 3 AND 7.

If you teach all age ranges between and including ages 3 through 7, then it would be more correct to use the word "to" or "through" as opposed to the word "and" where that sounds like you work only with 3 and 7 year old students without the range in between.

I think it matters if you are talking about:
You teach ages 3,4,5,6, and 7.
Or your talking about you just teach Ages 3 and 7 like the last statement, you don't actually use the word "between".

"3 and 7" works better

"3 and seven". If you use "3 to 7", you'll have to make "between" "from."
