Code of Ethics

One of the  ideals contained in the NAEYC that is meaningful to me is ethical responsibilites to families.  We must work closely with the families in order to give the child the best education possible.  Teachers and families must work together in cooperation for the benefit of the child.  One of the things I want to accomplish in this field is:

—To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve. (naeyc 2005).

Another thing important to me is ethical responsibilites to children.  Our paramount responsibility is to provide care and education in settings that are safe, healthy, nurturing, and responsive for each child. We are committed to supporting children’s development and learning; respecting individual differences; and helping children learn to live, play, and work cooperatively. (naeyc, 2005). 

—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.

I also want to help children and families with the transition into a program or moving into a new program.  Sometimes children can have a difficult time with transitions.  I want to make it smooth for everyone involved. 

----To work with families to provide a safe and smooth transition as children and families move from one program to the next.
