Codes of Ethics

Dear reader,

All ideals and principles of the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics in the early childhood field, have great value for me. I chose these three ideals for their character reflecting respect and justice towards children. 

"We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child" (DEC Code of Ethics) similar to ideal I-1.3 "To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities and potential of each child"(NAEYC Code of Ethics. These ideals reflect the importance of giving value to each child without prejudices.

"We shall recognize our responsibility to  improve the developmental outcomes of children and provide services and supports in a fair and equitable manner to all families and children" (DEC Code of Ethics). This ideal gives to the professional the responsibility to excel in helping all children without any injustice or preference towards children and their families.

"Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading, dangerous, exploitative, or intimidating to children"(NAEYC Code of Ethics). This is a reminder to everyone that it is prohibited to reduce the esteem of the child in any way. We must do everything to increase his self- confidence.

  1. I like how easy and organized your post was. Some of the others I viewed were so difficult or incomplete, so I commend you for being on top of this. As far as your post go, we did not not share any similar post, but regardless this fact, I still find your points to be important. We shared a similar point in one of our post and it pertains to keeping children safe. This above all is the most important thing of our job, above all.
    Great post!
