Code of Ethics

NAEYC, Section 1
Ethical Responsibilies to Children
I-1.1 To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.

This is very important to me. I have been in the field of early childhood for thirteen years. Since this time I have obtained and Associate degree, and a  Bachelors degree in the field of Early Childhood Development. By staying informed I have created developmentaly appropriate activities for the children in my care.


NAEYC, Section II

Ethical Responsibilities to Families

I-2.2_ To develop relationships of mutual trust and partnerships with the families we serve.

Families and teachers are a team in thier childs education. With out the families support I cannot create the developmentally appropriate activites for the children. I need the families input on thier childs likes, dislikes and any other important information about that child.


DEC Code of Ethics

Enhancement of Children's Families' Quality of Lives
1. We shall demonstrate our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues, and other with whom we work, honoring their beliefs values, customs, languages and culture.

Every person is unigue in thier own way. I repsect all my co-workers and my families and listen to what they have to say. Creating a respectful working environment and classroom will help the child grow up to be "themselves" not change into something that someone else wants.
