- Abstract
The importance of social capital outside the family in the sense of (educational) resources in children's personal networks is only slowly coming to the attention of educational researchers. In the past, social capital within the family and peer relationships in school classes have been the primary focus. The crosssectional study presented here, however, investigates the networks of N = 100 preschool children from different social backgrounds outside of the nuclear family. To gather the information for the study, their parents were interviewed personally using network research methodologies. The results show that there is a high correlation between social origin and extra-familial (educational) resources, and that children's networks are highly socially segregated. Preschool children from families with less economic and cultural capital have remarkably little social capital outside of daycare that could be useful in their future educational careers.
