Child Care Provider Appreciation – Professional Love: The Heart of our Work

“It’s not so much that we care for children because we love them, as that we love them because we care for them.”
– Allison Gopnik

Why have we been afraid to talk about love as a vital component of early education and care? How do we make sense of the love we feel for the children in our care? What is professional love? Is love every child’s right? What do we do when we find some children less loveable?

Join author Carol Garboden Murray for a discussion that seeks to define love and legitimize love in early education and care. We will examine love through the lens of care ethics. Naming love as part of our professional practice brings depth and strength to caregiving relationships.
