Ethical Responsibilities to Children
I-1.1-To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.
This particular code was meaningful to me, because that is one of the reasons why I am continuing my education so that I stay well informed. I believe learning more and staying knowledgeable of all information creates a better environment for the children. At my place of employment the employees have to continue to receive training throughout the school year to stay up with the latest rules and regulations of childcare.
I-1.3-To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
Since there are many children with different qualities and disabilities it is necessary to make sure that each child no matter what the issue is, receives the proper education and treated fairly. Every child deserves the same opportunity to learn and get the most out of the education system possible.
Ethical Responsibilities to Families
I-2.2-To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve.
Having relationships with the families that we serve in our program is very important. Establishing a good relationship and being able to communicate so that the children are well educated is a crucial part in the educating process. Families feel more comfortable when they have someone they can trust there children with.

Code of Ethics
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.
This code is sort of similar to one in the NAEYC but it can not be stressed enough the importance of gaining the trust of the families and children that we provide a service for. It also helps to aid in helping children have a memorable education process. If we inspire them young it can help in the long term when it comes to education.
3. We shall strive for the highest level of personal and professional competence by seeking and using new evidence based information to improve our practices while also responding openly to the suggestions of others.
I think this code of ethic is important when it comes amongst staff. At my place of employment we have staff meeting once a month to go over issues and problems. Also to brainstorm about new ideas that we can implement to have a better smooth running program.
DEC
Evidence Based Practices
3. We shall include the diverse perspectives and experiences of children and families in the conduct of research and intervention.
I believe honoring the diverse perspectives and experiences of children are very important. Since children come from various backgrounds , sometimes the families opinion on education seems to be a little different . Which is why it is important for staff to embrace the differences of the children and families.
