This research is motivated by the importance of integrating the value-based curriculum into the framework of the Independent Curriculum at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level. This study aims to analyze the readiness of teachers in implementing the Love-Based Curriculum at MI Miftahul Huda 2 Palangkaraya. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study involved 28 teachers. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and field observations related to the preparation and management of learning plans. The findings showed that the technical-pedagogical readiness of teachers was strong, especially in adapting learning materials and integrating the Love-Based Curriculum with an in-depth approach. However, teachers' conceptual and philosophical understanding of the key elements of the Love-based Curriculum, such as the five loves, is still in the introduction and deepening stages. The implications of this study emphasize the need for a sustainable teacher professional development program that focuses on strengthening the philosophical foundation of the curriculum, not just fulfilling administrative adaptation. This research is limited to the scope of one institution, so the results become a reference for similar institutional contexts.
