The article analyzes school–family relations in early childhood education as practices of human rights education. The aim is to understand how love, listening, and valuing emotions can resist the culture of hate and the individualization of educational responsibilities. This qualitative research used semi-structured interviews with five families (ten participants) and thematic analysis, identifying three axes: tensions, expectations, and affections in school–family relations; love as a human rights practice; and implications for teacher training. Results show that school–family partnership is shaped by social inequalities, that love can be understood as an ethical and political practice, and that teacher education must include socio-emotional and human rights dimensions. It concludes that early childhood education, when guided by dialogue and love, strengthens bonds and constitutes a space of resistance against logics of exclusion.
