Code of Ethics

Here are at least three ideals that are meaningful to me in my professional life:

NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct

and Statement of Commitment

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 field is constantly evolving and it is necessary to stay informed and current with information regarding early childhood education. Staying abreast on the latest research, findings, and information or issues allows you to make educated decisions in the early childhood field while influencing professional growth.

 I-1.11
—To provide all children with experiences in a

in maintaining the use of their home language and in

learning English.

- Part of our responsibility is to teach children how to love and accept who they are.  We can facilitate this by creating a welcoming environment that reflects their backgrounds.  Displaying posters, books , and music in other languages provides experiences for them to use and share their language can and will allow them to progress in their learning and development. 

The Code of Ethics of the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children

3. We shall include the diverse perspectives and experiences of children and families in the conduct

of research and intervention.
- Every family and child is unique.  Therefore, allowing their perspectives and experiences in the conduct of research is vital in meeting the individual needs of all children.
