2. We shall demonstrate the highest standards of personal integrity, truthfulness, and honesty in all our professional activities in order to inspire the trust and confidence of the children and families and of those with whom we work.
In any business, the highest standard of personal integrity should be abided by. However, I feel that in the early childhood field, integrity, truthfulness, and honesty should be implemented more abudantly. Caregivers have a huge responsibilities to teach as well as protect children. Children and their families must be able to trust you before they let you care for their most prized possession which is their child.
6. We shall build relationships with individual children and families while individualizing the curriculum and learning environments to facilitate young children’s development and learning.
This code of ethics resonates with me because professionals must understand each child's learning abilities individually in order to teach them. I strive to make sure that the curriculum and learning environment in the daycare center is age appropiate, and highly effective to ensure a grand outcome.
4. We shall support professionals new to the field by mentoring them in the practice of evidence and ethically based services.
This code resonates with me since I am new to the early childhood field. My mother helped me through the process which was truly overwhelming at times. I had never heard of the state regulations and guidelines that i need to address in order to be licensed. I think that without her guidance, I would have never been able to get the help I needed to enter the field. I think that we should support new professionals in the early childhood field. If we don't, who else will?
