Their earliest development and learning take place through these relationships, particularly within caregivers, who are children\u2019s first and most influential educators. As children participate in everyday life, they develop interests and construct their own identities and understandings of the world. As children transition to school, their social worlds expand to include a wider range of relationships, particularly with children of a similar age. Children\u2019s learning in school-age care settings complements their learning at home and school. In school-age care settings, there is great importance placed on relationships and developing and strengthening children\u2019s talents and interests. Children learn to know, to do, to be, to live together, and to transform oneself and society (UNESCO).<\/p>\r\n\r\n Figure 4.27: The relationships children have with one another are important.
