Code of Ethics

Three ideals from the codes of ethics that I found meaningful to me were:

1) We shall build relationships with individual children and families while individualizing the curricula and learning environments to facilitate young children’s development and learning. This code is significant to me because all children and families are different so we have to tailor to their needs so we are helping them the best possible ways.

2) To advocate for and ensure that all children, including those with special needs, have access to the support services needed to be successful. This code is significant because I feel ALL children have rights to services to help them be successful, even those with special needs. As early childhood professionals we need to advocate those with special needs even more, because they deserve to be successful as well.

3) To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve. This is significant to me because in order to help families and their children we have to develop a relationship with the parents. Parents are expecting us to teach their children, and put their trust in us. We need to keep the parents informed on what's going on and happening in order to build a partnership.
