Thank you ALL!

Thank you to all of you who have supported my journey to further my education in early childhood. Thank you for your insights, your words of encouragement, your interest, and your dedication to being an educator. I hope the best for each of you in your endeavors. It is great to know that there are people who truly care about children and want these children to succeed. It keeps me motivated to continue to fight the good fight for excellent education for every child.

Code of Ethics


Early Childhood Professional Ideals


To participate in building support networks for families by providing them with opportunities to interact with program staff, other families, community resources, and professional services (NAEYC, 2005, p. 4).

The importance of support is what drives people to continue to help each other. Knowing that someone has your back every step of the way can positively influence a child and those around him/her.

To base program practices upon current knowledge and research in the field of early childhood education, child development, and related disciplines, as well as on particular knowledge of each child (NAEYC, 2005, p. 2).

The importance of current teaching is what will keep ideas fresh and new. Children learn different today than they did ten years ago, especially with advancements in technology.
 
We shall recognize our responsibility to improve the developmental outcomes of children and to provide services and support in a fair and equitable manner to all families and children (The Division for Early Childhood, 2000, p.3).

            The importance of being fair is what brings respect and honor to leaders. People desire to be 
            treated fairly in all aspects of life, and early childhood is no exception.
