Meaningful Code of Ethics


Three ideas in the NAEYC code of conduct that is meaningful to me are:

·         Creating and maintaining safe and healthy settings that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical development and that respect their dignity and their contributions.

o   This is meaningful to me because it stressed the importance of caring for the whole child and respecting them as individuals.

·         Ensure that each child’s culture, language, ethnicity, and family structure are recognized and valued in the program.

o   This is meaningful to me because it is critical that each child’s background is respected.  When children feel they are welcomed or an equal part of the program, they have a greater opportunity for learning more.

·         Develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with families we serve.

o   Partnerships with families is the cornerstone to helping children become successful through sharing information.  Relationships with families allows professionals to learn more about the child.
