Code of Ethics

Just like with any job, there is a code of ethics that we must follow when working with children. NAEYC and the Division for Early Childhood has provided us with several principles and ideals to follow while working with young children and their families. Below I will list three ideals that I feel are significant to me and why.


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.
- The world that we live in continue to change. More information and new ways of doing things come available. This ideal is meaningful to me because I feel that we should be in formed and up-to-date on the knowledge in our filed in order to effectively serve young children and their families. 


I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
-This ideal is meaningful to me because just like adults, children are their own person, and they learn in different ways. Not every child is the same and we as care providers should take the time out to know the children we work with individually, to know their strengths and weaknesses.  If we do not know the child how can we expect them to learn and grow. 

I-2.2—To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve.
-This ideal is meaningful to me because how can someone trust you with their child if they can not trust you. I've learned through our readings this semester that in order to fully get to the child, you have to start with the family.

  6. Brittany, I agree with you and the ideals that you chose. It is important that we stay updated with resources so that we can provide the best service to children. Yes, we must build healthy relationships with not only children, but also their families. You made a good point in that families must trust you as their child's teacher in order to trust you with their child.

  9. It is very important to understand how children develop cognitively. They interact with their peers as well as adults. They learn from different interactions.
