Lady Gowrie Tasmania has partnered with The Basics Tasmania to equip educators with practical tools and strategies that assist families in nurturing children from birth to three years old, ensuring they thrive and reach their full potential. The first principle in this collaboration is "Maximise Love, Manage Stress."

In this context, Lady Gowrie Tasmania defines 'love' as the focused and attentive response to children's overall wellbeing. This approach ensures that all children’s needs are met within an emotionally safe environment.

This concept aligns with Dr. Jools Page's notion of 'professional love' in early childhood settings. Dr. Page emphasizes that while the love educators provide differs from parental love, it involves building authentic and trusting relationships where children's voices and needs are prioritized. This form of love is characterized by affection, and care, supported by a deep understanding of human relationships. It complements the parent-child relationship, always upholding the child's rights and well-being.

Safeguarding children remains paramount in this framework. Educators are vigilant, adhering to established policies and procedures to maintain active supervision and a secure environment. By integrating 'professional love' with stringent safeguarding measures, Lady Gowrie Tasmania aims to foster nurturing relationships that support children's safety, emotional and developmental needs.

This partnership with The Basics Tasmania reflects a commitment to collaborative efforts between educators and families, providing practical tools and strategies to create supportive and enriching environments for young children.
