The following are ideals contained in the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct that are meaningful and significant in my professional life:
Ethical Responsibilities
to Children

research in the field of early childhood education, child development, and
related disciplines, as well as on particular knowledge of each child. – This
means I will stay informed and current on the research and practices that are
related to young children in order to ensure I am doing what is best for the child
and that I am helping and not bringing harm to any child.

acknowledge and build upon their strengths and competencies, and learn from families
as we support them in their task of nurturing children. - I will make sure that the family is always
informed and consulted whenever decisions are being made regarding the
education and care of their child.
Responsibilities to Colleagues
I-3A.2—To share resources with
co-workers, collaborating to ensure that the best possible early childhood care
and education program is provided. – I will make sure that I attend my “share
sessions” and meetings with my colleagues in order to share any new research,
information and resources that I have in order to ensure that they also stay
current and are able to provide quality educational services.
Responsibilities to Employees
I-3C.3—To strive to secure
adequate and equitable compensation (salary and benefits) for those who work
with or on behalf of young children. – I will advocate for my employees to
