NAEYC & DEC Code of Ethics

The three ideals of Code of Ethics are as follows:

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

It is my feeling that I must stay abreast with early childhood education and childcare program changes in policies. I must continue with staff development, attend webinars regarding these changes and also keep up to date with educational journals.

2.  To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and family structure (culture, language, and ethnicity) are recognized and valued in the program.

No matter what a child or family background, culture, nationality is the child and family still have a right to be in the program. The program has to accommodate all children that comes in to the program and to let them know that they are very important and that we are here to help them succeed in their endeavors.

3.  The responsibility for protecting the confidentiality of the children and families being served falls upon all service providers by protecting all forms of verbal written and electronic communications.

To me this means that as professionals we are responsible for keeping the family information confidential and not give out any information without their consent. No one other than the persons having access to the records and that works with the families are allowed to view the child and family information.
