Code of Ethics

     Ethics are very important and I take the codes of ethics very seriously.  The three that are very meaningful to me. The first one is  "to advocate for and ensure that all children, including those with special needs, have access to the support services needed to be successful." (NAEYC, 2005)  I want to be a child advocate and sometimes it very hard families to access information or get into programs that are beneficial to their child so I want to see every child, no matter race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc, have access to the things they need in order to reach their potential.

     The second code that is meaningful to me is "to develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families I work with. (NAEYC, 2005)  I feel it important to have a family participation and this can only be done if the family and I are on the same page when using methods to help the child.  This way the work can be carried out at home as well as school and consistency is key to success.

     The third ideal is "to share resources with co-workers, collaborating to ensure that the best possible early childhood care and education program is provided." (NAEYC, 2005) I want to stay current and I want to be able to tap into all types of resources.  So sharing resources and having team work effort is very important.
