Meaningful Codes of Ethics (NAEYC)

1-1.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.

Within the early childhood field, the professionals in the state of Maryland are obligated to continue educational courses each year to stay current and informed. This code applies to me as a professional and it is an obligation I anticipate on embrassing. I feel that it is highly important to stay knowledgeable for the benefit of the children. I want to be able to maximize the growth of every child I deal with daily. Knowledge will empower me to do so.

I-1.3-To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and 1potential of each child.

I make a conscience effort to acknowledge and respect every child's uniqeness and potential. I would like to develop more ways of finding out what each child's strengths are in the future. I find myself constantly brain storming ideas and asking my own children for ideas to help me with this. I feel each child has potential to be anything they set their hearts to do. With recognition, respect, and someone believing in them, a child has no limit on what they will set out to be.

I-1.5-To create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development and that respect their dignity

and their contributions.

I maintain a safe and healthy setting in my daycare. I will continue to upgrade the safety as well as the curriculums used to implement positive social, emotional, and cognitive skills. The policy at our center has been to complete a yearly evaluation of all health and safety issues. After the issues have been identified, we will make corrections to those areas in order to maintain the quality of each child's environment. In respect to each child's contributions, they are rewarded with stickers, certificates, hugs, and trips. This encourage the children to want to contribute their ideas with each other promoting positive social and emotional development. Therefore, this code was most meaningful because it relates to the success of my children and career.

Because of your strong belief in the code of ethical conduct and statement of commitment, your Daycare is probably a popular and successful business because you are a woman of integrity. I agree with you, all of the above, are very important in my classroom of special needs preschoolers, too.; October 23, 2010 at 9:47 AM

My Top 5 Influential People:

Paulette White (Mom):

My mother has been the rock of my family. My mother showed me how to be strong no matter what. It is because of my mother's passion for teaching children that I am in this field. My mother's favorite quote is "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me". I always think back to that verse when I feel like I'm overwhelmed.

Arthur White (Step-Dad):

My stepdad came into my life at the age of 15. Since then, he has been a wonderful father figure for me. My biological father passed away when I was 8 years old. He has been wonderful to me throughout my trying teenage years. I can always count on him to be there for me.

Inez Jones (Grandmother):

My granny is the best. My grandmother is a true woman of God. I remember my granny watching me before and after school. When ever I didn't feel good, my grandmother would first pray for me, then make up old remedies to help me get better. She is a shining star and reflection of God's blessings. My granny is 90 years old and still caring for our family.

Jakki Goins (sister-in-law):

My sister in law helped to shape me as well. She gives great advice. Our relationship has always been separate from her marriage to my brother. I think that's what I love about her. She always keeps it real.

The Late Bishop James R. Jones (pastor):

My pastor was a very strong man. He was a true man of God. He would always talk to the young boys and girls in our church. My pastor had a passion for children. He would take the children in our church on trips all around the world. His passion was so great for children that he opened a christian school. In the school, some people contributed whatever funds they could. For the most part, many of the parents couldn't afford to pay so our pastor kept the school running with his own earnings. He was a true example of what a man of God should be and he is missed daily. I will always love him!!
