Ethical Codes

NAEYC

Ethical Responsibilities 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 important to my professional life because I need to know everything I can to ensure my students receive the best education they can. Everything I learn I want my students to learn also.

I. 1.4 to appreciate the vulnerability of children and their dependence on adults.

The children depend on us to care for them. They are still developing and learning. They look to us for guidance and support.  We are their family away from home.

Division for Early Childhood (DEC)

Enhancement of Children and Families' Quality of Lives

1. We shall demonstrate our respect  and concern for children, families, colleagues, and others with whom we work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture.

This is significant to my professioanl life because we will work with and/or for people of diiferent beliefs, culures, languages, and customs. We should treat all people the same, everyone deserves respect.
