I wish for every child to be safe, warm and cared for, primarily.

Then for every child to know love and responsive care.

Then that they have positive playful early childhoods.

And a great experience in EYFS ECEC! ✨

Equity. Not equality. Equity is not sameness. We may be ‘equal’ but we don’t all get the same opportunities : outcomes by being treated equally. It can take time to get clarity on this, I think.

Thank you so much for saying this.

Thanks Jo. It is indeed! Accompanying a strong and convicted, passionate HT leading the vision is so refreshing!

Hi. Sounds very interesting. Is there any access to your article if I’m not a subscriber?

Thank you 🪺🪹

It is now 😁☺️… hoping same for you too!

Hello. 🦋 welcome fellow educators. I post mainly about early childhood education and care, with sprinkles of pedagogy, lots of joy, food for thought, critical hope, flourishing, creativity, inclusivity and child-centredness. Not always in that order.

Understandable!
Funny story - hosted a zoom, used AI summary to record mins, and it efficiently noted (overheard) that I was looking fw to changing into pjs and watching ‘I’m a Celeb’. Embarrassing.

Yes! Not often enough do I see support *from conception* regarded holistically. Completely agree.
We know the difference.
Everything depends on this:
development, health, brains, nutrition, stress, protective factors, music, joy, trauma, speech, movement, cortisol, attachments, care - everything.

Brilliant thanks. Love Louisa’s work.

They are infinite, Lisa! And Joy bringing. Hopeful conversations full of possibility that make a difference for children. This is such a passion of mine! So great to connect with you and colleagues around this in such exciting ways. ✨🌱💥

It brings agency to children.
Power to create hope, bring good, see restoration.

I’ve been exploring the #perma model with colleagues and seeing the positives from connection, encouragement and relationship, belonging, care and thinking space.

When we share new knowing, when we notice and when we see difference and make a difference, it is empowering. It gives us power.
