As an early years professional I wholeheartedly agree with professional love, and practice this in our nursery. Great blog and I’ll be sharing this with my team 💚

Thank you Chris - your continuing support means a lot to me 💐❤️
'Love' the blog Jools. Explains your work with clarity and would be worthwhile reading for any professional who works with children in any capacity; not only in daycare settings but also childminders and nannies, ey teachers and educators, and also children's primary caregivers.

(3/3)... which enabled them to feel happy, safe and secure in their learning and play while I was at work. Communication & positive relationships with the family is key, so that they understand that "professional love" benefits their child and in no way undermines familial love.

(2/3)..."meaningful, loving interactions" and these relationships are key to learning and teaching. When I was returning back to work after maternity leave and putting my own children into nursery as 1 year olds all I wanted was for my children to be shown "professional love"...

(1/3) I loved your blog, thank you. My view on "love" has changed during my 16 years as an Early Years Teacher. I used to think my role was just about learning and teaching and it wasn't my role to love the children, however I now believe that everything starts and builds from.. – at Scotland, United Kingdom

That’s wonderful to hear Susan - thank you for sharing. Parents are key to my theory of Professional Love.
Replying to @drjoolspage
This year, for the first time ever, I had a parent thank me for the professional love I had shown them and their child. Despite many years working in Early Years, I had never heard this! I feel exonerated for loving all the children I have been privileged enough to connect with.

Gosh how humbling, Aimee - thank you very much indeed. 😊💐

I think about your work on professional love at least once a day - it just chimes clearly with so many experiences of colleagues and our student teachers. I can’t tell you how many times I have said ‘ooooh have you read Jools Page?’

@drjoolspage explaining how the embodied form of dance can make visible the minutiae of critical Professional Love moments - those moments that feel like ‘love’ in a professional context.
