"Code of Ethics"

NAEYC recognizes that many daily decisions required of those who work with young children are of a moral and ethical nature.
Ethical responsibilities to children

Childhood is a unique and valuable stage in the life cycle. Our paramount responsibility is to provide safe, healthy, nurturing, and responsive settings for children. We are committed to supporting children's development, respecting individual differences, helping children learn to live and work cooperatively, and promoting health, self-awareness, competence, self-worth, and resiliency.

-1.3-To recognize and respect the uniqueness and the potential of each child.
  • Every child is different, but we must remember to treat all of them the same. Every child want to feel special in their own way.

1-1.6-To support the right of each child to play and learn in inclusive early childhood programs to the fullest extent consistent with the best interests of all involved. As with adults who are disabled in the larger community, children with disabilities are ideally served in the same settings in which they would participate if they did not have a disability.
  • Many research has stated through play many children can learn different concepts. There are many types of play. Playing is a form of learning. We have to continue to encourage children to play with others.

P-1.1-Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are disrespectful, degrading, dangerous, exploitative, intimidating, emotionally damaging, or physically harmful to children. This principle has precedence over all others in this Code.
  • This is an important code of ethic we must remember. Harming children is never allowed. For the many people, who have harmed children need to sit back and look at theirselves. How could you really harm a child? Children are so precious.

Division for Early Childhood

Professional Collaboration
We shall honor and respect the diverse backgrounds of our colleagues including such diverse characteristics as sexual orientation, race, national origin, religious beliefs, or other affiliations.
  •  We should honor this out of respect. That is so disrepectful when you does otherwise. Many people take things like that to their heart. Be grateful who you are.

Enhancement of Children's and Families' Quality of Lives
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
  • Many families look up to us as professionals. We should always set a good example,
        because you never know when they might really need you.

Evidence Based Practices
We shall rely upon evidence based research and interventions to inform our practice with children  and families in our care.
  • Research is something that will always be available. In the field of education,
         we have to stay updated for our children and their families.
