NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment


Working with young children is not exactly rocket science, but it is indeed a professional career choice for educators that are dedicated to providing educational opportunities and a nurturing environment for children and their families.

Educators are to adhere to the code of ethics at all times when providing care and learning services to young children.  The commitment is one that bonds each of us together, and bonds us to the staff and families that we serve on a daily basis.

Core Values
Standards of ethical behavior in early childhood care and education are based on commitment to the following core values that are deeply rooted in the history of the field of early childhood care and education.

We have made a commitment to
•Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle
•Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn
•Appreciate and support the bond between the child and family
•Recognize that children are best understood and supported in the context of family, culture,* community, and society
•Respect the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and colleague) •Respect diversity in children, families, and colleagues
•Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect
