Three ideals from NAEYC and DEC code of ethics statements that are important to me and that I try and use daily are:
1) “To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child”
2) “We shall advocate for equal access to high quality services and supports for all children and families to enhance their quality of lives.”
3) “To provide the community with high-quality early childhood care and education programs and services.”
All children learn in different ways and it is my responsibility as an educator to make sure that I recognize and respect the abilities that each child brings into the classroom. I try offer children activities that touch on different learning styles so each child is getting meaningful learning experiences. As a professional I want to become more comfortable with advocating for children in early childhood.
All children deserve to have high quality education experiences regardless of socioeconomic status or culture. It is my goal to start sharing with my families and others in the community how important it is that children receive a good early childhood education. It is my goal to be the voice for children.
Not only is it my goal to advocate for children to receive a high quality early childhood education, but I also am going to lead by example by being a provider of a good early childhood education experience. I plan to keep staying current on the trends and issues in the field and to further my knowledge in the field so I can provide meaningful learning experiences to children.
It is my goal as an early childhood provider to abide by these ethical ideals to promote success in children.
